With this memoir, Keith Watkins has gifted us with a thoughtful and engaging account of his own theological developments over the last seven decades, and in so doing this professor-pastor offers us an autobiographical account that opens out to tell a broader intellectual history of Disciples since the 1950s, especially around the interrelated themes of the Eucharist and Christian unity. This theological memoir will be of interest not only to those who study Disciples history and thought-although it is a must read for them-but those with an interest in the fields of ecumenism, modern American religious history, practical theology, and eucharistic studies will find much to savor in these pages as well.

During a forty-year period ending in 2002, leaders of major American churches tried to unite their members, ministries, and public service in a new church they named A Church of Christ Uniting. Participating in this movement were four Methodist Churches, the Episcopal Church, the nation's largest Presbyterian Church, the United Church of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and the International Council of Community Churches. With a membership of close to twenty million, this church would have been spread throughout the nation more fully than any other church except the Roman Catholic. Leaders of the movement believed that this union would enable church members to experience their Christian life more fully. It would heal divisions that had existed since the Protestant Reformation 450 years earlier and displace the denominational system that was increasingly dysfunctional. By coming together in a new way, these churches could work more effectively at overcoming problems in American life-especially the challenges related to racism. Although the Consultation on Church Union (COCU) closed before converting its vision into a new form of the church, it had a significant effect on these churches and the nation. This is a story that needs to be remembered.
