Morning Has Broken
→Other versions: Reference to publisher of Evangelisches Gesangbuch mistakenly is "Protestant Lutheran Church of Germany." I corrected reference to "Protestant Church in Germany." The Lutheran churches in Germany are part of this larger church federation, but the federation itself includes other Protestant traditions.

Ohio Conference, United Church of Christ
Updated name of the Coalition for LGBT Concerns, now the Open and Affirming Coalition, and added a link to the Open and Affirming Wikipedia page. Note to author: please check the listing of ONA churches in the Conference: a number have been added since this article was written.

Open and affirming
Further edits to provide additional references, to credit "Open & Affirming" as a brand in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and to remove an extraneous paragraph lacking citation. Note: most references are to the Open and Affirming Coalition website, but this is the organization that created and continues to supervise the ONA program in the UCC, so is an accurate source of information.

United Reformed Church
→Belief: Removed an inaccuracy. Originally related the "Churches of Christ" to the Reformed tradition. The largest body with that name is a descendant of the "American Restoration" movement in the early 19th century, and was not Calvinist. There are other, smaller groups called "Church of Christ" but they, likewise, have different origins. One is a small offshoot of the Mormon Church.

United Reformed Church
→Belief: Changed "distantly" to "distinctly." In context, I assume this was a typo. The URC's roots are definitely Reformed. There's a "distance" of 500 years, when the Reformation happened, but that would be true of all churches that trace their heritage to the Reform movement of Calvin, Zwingli, others.

Evangelical and Reformed Church
Removed "also known as the German Reformed Church" in the first paragraph. The E&R church was never known as the "German Reformed Church," which was one of the two partners who merged, as the article later correctly states.

National People's Army
Removed an inaccurate POV text: "At the critical moment in its history in November 1989, the NVA rallied to its Germanic heritage and rejected the SED, refusing to battle the demonstrators...." The NVA never received orders to "battle demonstrators."
