The council was created in the mid 1960s to act as an umbrella group for eight of the fourteen student Christian groups in Cambridge. It aimed to coordinate the groups' meetings; organise joint events at university level; encourage joint events at college level; and to provide a forum for the discussion of issues relevant to Christian unity in the university. The council was renamed ''Christians in Unity in Cambridge'' in the Easter Term of 2004 restating its aim as the promotion of communication, understanding and support between Christian groups. The website of Christians in Unity can be found at: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/cuc/cuc.html. The Ecumenical Fellowship Groups were created under the auspices of the C.S.C.C. in the late 1960s. They were small groups of about ten persons meeting together to provide spiritual companionship, an intimate forum for discussing the Christian faith and some Bible study opportunities. Additionally some groups participated in church services; outreach; community service activities; and social events.
