Britain's United Reformed Church

Christian Century,  April 8, 2008  

Britain's United Reformed Church has appointed Roberta Rominger, who trained in California as a cellist and was ordained there by the United Church of Christ, as its general secretary. She is the first woman to hold the post in the 100,000-member church, which has 700 paid and unpaid ministers. Rominger came to Britain in 1985 and since then has been a URC minister.

She was moderator of the church's Thames North Synod for 10 years. "I am passionate about the vision of a church that is enthusiastically engaged with the world," said Rominger after her appointment was announced in March. She replaces David Cornick, who will become general secretary of Churches Together in England.
