United Church of Christ Study Reveals SHOCKING Rates Of ‘Polyamory/ Consensual Non-Monogamy’ Within the Demomination
By now, the heresies of the United Church of Christ (UCC) are legendary*. A denomination that frequently catfights with the ERLC and PCUSA to see who can hate Jesus the hardest and proverbially pluck the most hairs out of his beard, there is seemingly no end to their depravity, which is why “two-thirds (67.9%) of all UCC congregations now have a weekly worship attendance of 1-50 individuals,” according to a recent report.
A couple of years ago, the ‘minister for sexuality education and justice’ in the United Church of Christ, Amy Johnson, held a webinar on “Consensual Non-Monogamy and Faith.’ They brought a panel from the Canadian Unitarian Council and discussed “how to be welcoming and inclusive of polyamorous people and families in every aspect of congregational life” while “recognizing that consensually non-monogamous individuals and families are part of our faith communities as members, friends, clergy, and staff.”
Polyamory is one type of relationship style that falls under the umbrella of ethical non-monogamy. So, all polyamory is ethical non-monogamy, but not all ethical non-monogamy is polyamory. Polyamory specifically refers to multiple loving (sexual) relationships, whereas ethical non-monogamy is any arrangement where people have multiple consensual romantic, sexual, and/or intimate connections.

During the call, they brought on a seminary student named Gabriella who is a Member in Discernment in the United Church of Christ and whose final paper was a “study on consensual non-monogamy and polyamory in the UCC context.” She states that “My hope during the research was to explore the history, scope and possible future of polyamory and consensual non-monogamy in the UCC” in order to center the marginalized and “uplift the voices of UCC members who have experience with consensual non-monogamy and polyamory” in order to “hopefully help strengthen support systems available to them.”
She surveyed and interviewed nearly 100 ministers within the UCC, 55% which identified as LGBTQ, and found:
25% of respondents “currently practice or previously practice a form of consensual non-monogamy, such as polyamory.”
45% of respondents have encountered polyamory and consensual non-monogamy in a UCC context, which includes “a pastoral care setting, a Bible study, the ONA open and affirming process that we have or some other setting.”
70% of respondents say they are supportive of or “comfortable with polyamory and consensual non-monogamy either by being in a relationship structure like that themselves, or feeling comfortable with other people being in such relationships.”
She concludes: “all of this to say that consensual non-monogamy and polyamory is already an existing and significant reality in the UCC. I don’t think that that should necessarily come as a surprise, but I think for some people it can be, just because it is not something that is necessarily talked about very openly and widely in many settings.”

Complete and utter anarchy among users of Christs name!
I wonder what the Lord thinks of that? Let’s ask the apostle Paul in Romans chapter 1:
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due. 28 And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting….
