"Congregational churches in the United States have been closely related to congregations outside the borders of the United States through full membership in Ameircan based Conferences and Associations, reporting in national Yearbooks, and some early associations with colonial Puritan congregations. This book introduces each nation with partner churches, summarizes the connections in each case, and lists the partner churches. Churches in fifteen nations and territories are included: Canada, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil, Kiribati, the Marquesas Islands (in French Polynesia), the Marshall Islands, Micornesia, and Nauru. Some entries continue with Congregational Christian, United Church of Christ, and continuing Congregational Christian church groups"--.
