1. Well, UCC is a very de-centralized denom. He musta belonged to a

rather conservative parish.

2. I would guess he didn't go to church much.

In my hometown, UCC was the Church du jour. Anyone who was anyone important went there. We were Methodists. :)

3. Unitarians Considering Christ

Sorry, but I like that joke. :-)

It's hard for me to believe such a rigid personality belonged to a liberal denom. Then again, Nixon was a Quaker. :shrug:

5. Oh

So it wasn't the United Church of Christ. Nixon was a Quaker? :crazy: I didn't know that.

8. Obviously, Nixon wasn't a very good Quaker, eh?

Personally, I doubt he darkened the door of a Meeting House after he was older than about 12.

4. Seriously???

Wow! Call me surprised!

6. Actually, he was officially Lutheran

:-(

Someone wrote in to the Minneapolis paper's Q&A column, and they said that he was officially a member of a Lutheran church in suburban Virginia.

7. Isn't the UCC in full communion with the ELCA anyways?

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Yes, they are in full communion. Rehnquist was UCC only in the summer,

at his summer home in Vermont he attended a UCC church.

But he held his membership in a Lutheran Church.

Although he grew up Congregational in Milwaukee (before the UCC was formed).
