  • This project describes worship practices of black congregations of the United Church of Christ in North Carolina. Three black pastors helped to create an interview protocol that could explore and define the black church tradition in the UCC. The interviews analyzed the pastor's context in ministry, authorization for ministry, Sunday morning worship practices, preaching, music, communion, baptism, special days, and printed resources used in worship. The reports reveal a remarkably consistent worship practice that reflects the black, 'rural' worship tradition of this region. A central ritual act of nearly all churches in the study is believer's baptism by immersion. Immersion matches the believer's experience of death of the old life and rebirth in Christ and parallels the Sunday morning experience of death to the old, destructive, secular world and rebirth into the beloved community of the church.
