Unhappy with what the Bible says on moral issues the United Church of Christ wants to add a "third testament" to update what it sees as outdated beliefs from the Old and New Testaments.
If I understand correctly the United Church of Christ is quite loosey-goosey about matters of morals and welcomes all sorts of people the New Testament refers to as sinners. The New Testament specifically says that if a brother in Christ is in an open state of sin and refuses to repent he ultimately must be cut off from the rest of the church. This is an attempt to circumvent that.
Years ago a black southern church wanted to put the letters of Martin Luther King from prison into the New Testament but that idea fizzled. That was the only movement of which I'm aware to alter scripture (with the exception of the Inspirationalists in Amana, Iowa, that is) and it failed.
Why? For one thing the Book of Revelations warns that if anyone alters Scripture in any way his name will be removed from the Book of Life and all the plagues in the final book portending doom will be added unto him. A pretty harsh thing to risk.
At any rate this is classically liberal; just change that which doesn't suit you.
Watch for this sort of thing to metastasize over time.

Back quite a few years ago, before my wife got her steady church accompanist gig and was free-lancing, we used to occasionally play at a UCC congregation in St. Paul, and it used to honk me off that they would have a plug for man-caused climate change every Sunday.

If you fear man-caused climate change you are essentially saying God is not in control. It's a form of apostacy.
They worship the creature rather than the Creator, methinks.

I think this is a really complex issue, and people approach it from very different perspectives. Some see scripture as unchanging
