Wisconsin Theological Society Papers
From their website: Autonomous Churches seeking the fellowship, support, and programs of “like-called” congregations have, since 1968, found local relationships within the Wisconsin Congregational Association. While most of the member Churches are, indeed, from Wisconsin, there are also member Churches in Upper Michigan and Illinois. The Churches of the WCA follow the historic faith and organizational pattern of the Congregational Way. Membership in the Wisconsin Congregational Association is open to any Church that shares the faith and polity convictions of the association and accepts the association Covenant.
