I personally prefer my wisdom to be hard-hitting and insightful, but then, I like to get things done.
"Open and affirming" is UCC code language for churches that have gone all in on the LGTBAIQAWTFBBQ schism. My childhood UCC church, bleh, hasn't had a male pastor in maybe 20 years. All the pastors for the last ~10 years have been gay.
The last time I set foot in that building was for a Christmas service some years ago. The pastor did not say the word "God" or "Jesus" the ENTIRE service. The (lesbian) co-pastor actually did, so, there's that..
The UCC is a church primarily for wealthy, highly educated, useless white people. The majority of the members are in the mid-Atlantic and northeast. I believe the majority of members have masters or PhD degrees.
They have been hemorrhaging membership, but finances are actually pretty good (again, wealthy members).
I hate the UCC and everything it stands for.
Don't know anything about that church's history, but perusing their website I find a section dedicated to "Justice" and it is obviously neo-Marxist critical social justice.
That explains the Fag Flag and the BLM sign on the edifice.
PS./Edit:
What's that bit in the good book about serving god and mammon?
The United Church of Christ traces its history in a straightline back to the congregationalist Puritans. People like Jonathan Edwards who wrote “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”
Today, I doubt the majority of UCC members or pastors would even acknowledge the concept of sin.
It and the UU (Unitarian Universalists) are pretty much the official churches of woke SJWism.
