So that everyone here knows, I'm part of the UC Santa Cruz United Campus Christian Ministry, a progressive Christian campus organization. We're connected to the United Church of Christ and the Disciples of Christ through the STEP Network, an ecumenical student partnership between the two already mentioned denominations.

Anyway, right now there's a little competition called "Campus Chaos" going on, where different campus ministries from all over the nation get to share their ideas for spreading our message of social justice and inclusion. Each of us has submitted a short essay about something we did in the past year for social justice, and anyone can vote on the one they like the most.

I got all my friends, both Christian and non-Christian, to participate, but I realized that very few UCCers seem to know anything about it! So if you're interested, you can go to www.stepnetwork.org and read all the entries there.

Our campus ministry is currently in the final four! We participated in a demonstration for equal marriage rights for GLBT persons. But if you do vote, please vote for whichever ministry you feel is most deserving. :-)

Thanks! And again, I'm not trying to solicit votes (I don't think we actually win anything anyway), just to spread the word, especially if you're interested to see how college ministries work for God!

"the whole irreducible point of the faith,
God thrown in human waste, submerged and shining.

We have grown used to beauty without horror.
We have grown used to useless beauty."

Communities on i.UCC

UCC 101
Learn more about the UCC's past and present, and the future of our "united and uniting church" which we hope will include you! We've got blogs, videos and a discussion space where you can ask questions about the church—and about this online community. UCC members are also welcome!

Opening the Bible
We believe that when you explore the Bible, you don't have to check your mind at the door—or your curiosity. Scripture can do great harm when used as a weapon, but it also opens a door to the story of God's loving relationship with humanity.

Spirit Café
We invite you to an interactive space for spiritual inquiry and exploration. Learn about new and ancient spiritual practices, and share your spiritual journey with others on a quest like yours.

Prayer Chapel
End your day with a simple, quiet, meditative experience of evening prayer. We gather in our virtual Prayer Chapel every night at 9 p.m. (Eastern). At all other times, you're welcome to post your prayer requests in our Prayer Chapel Forum.
