A Perspective on the United Church of Christ - A Conversation with Irene Willis Hassan

Irene Willis Hassan grew up in The United Church of Christ, but her story led her down many different paths until she found herself back in the fold of the UCC. The UCC has a reputation of being a pretty far-left group, but Irene and a handful of others actually identify as somewhat conservative. In this segment, Irene tells her story and explains how she and her Hawaiian church can gladly stay in the fold of the UCC despite their decidedly non-woke theology. Methodists could potentially get a glimpse at what staying in the UMC could look like and get some clarity if they need to stay or go. Those who left might better understand the forces that overtook the UMC and why it might have been necessary to leave as so many did.
