多謝提供資料.

中華基督教會 (China Congregational Church) 屬於公理宗 (Congregationalism*), 本來富有自由派色彩.但由於公理宗的特色是各堂會的行政獨立,個別堂會的神學取向便視乎堂會領導層之取態而定,所以有所參差.當中的中華基督教會深愛堂應是最有名的傾向自由派/社會福音路線的堂會.

美國公理會於 1957 年跟 Evangelical and Reformed Church 合併,成為 United Church of Christ (UCC). UCC 是美國最龐大的自由派教會, 1997 統計,信眾約有一百三十萬.

順道為網友解釋. WCC 是普世教會協會 (World Council of Churches) 的縮寫. 普世教會協會致力推動普世教會合一運動 (Ecumenical Movement), 促進世界基督宗教的各宗派,包括羅馬大公教會及正教會,在主裡會合一.

*Type of Protestant church organization in which each congregation, or local church, has free control of its own affairs. The underlying principle is that each local congregation has as its head Jesus alone and that the relations of the various congregations are those of fellow members in one common family of God. Congregationalism eliminated bishops and presbyteries.
