The creation of the United
                                                    Reformed Church in 1972
                                                       formally merged the
                                                      Presbyterian Church of
                                                         England and the
                                                     Congregational Church in
                                                     England and Wales. One
                                                     Member of Parliament, at
                                                      the time, described this
                                                    merger as: “one of the most
                                                     historic measures in the
                                                      history of the Christian
                                                     churches in this country.”

                                                   The denomination expanded
                                                   when Churches of Christ
                                                   joined it in 1981, followed by
                                                   Scottish Congregationalists
                                                   in 2000.
