United Presbyterian Church In The United States Of America
The
United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America
(UPCUSA or UPUSA) was the northern branch of
Presbyterianism
in the
United States
. It was formed by the union of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States of America
(the mainline Northern Presbyterian Church) with the
United Presbyterian Church of North America
(a smaller church of Covenanter-Seceder tradition) in 1958. The UPCUSA originally held to the
Westminster Confession of Faith
and catechisms, but added several more confessions as doctrinal guides (as opposed to strict "standards") in its
Book of Confessions
, as well as creating the
Confession of 1967
as a contemporary statement of the beliefs of the UPCUSA. The UPUSA was a strong supporter of progressive causes, such as civil rights and feminism. It had been in negotiations with the
Presbyterian Church in the United States
(PCUS - the Southern Church) from the beginning to merge the two churches, and this was finally accomplished in 1983 as the two denominations became one as the
Presbyterian Church USA
.
