I visited United Church of Christ several times and sensed an aura of “death” in the sanctuary.....meaning, I did not sense the spirit of the Lord there. It was a foreboding feeling, and I couldn’t wait to get leave. I found these people to be arrogant and just plain scary.
A UCC “sanctuary” gives off a whiff of what I’d call “The True Absence”.
There are several churches in my town that have the name “Church of Christ” in their title. Some are very close to each other too. Have often wondered why this is. Did they have a split 30 or so years ago? Is there more than once type like the Methodists or Presbys?
