Oh gee, there you go again - *the entire Christian establishment*?? Who, specifically are they? :-)

Take your pick. You can choose any one of the standard, historic and mainline Christian churches. They all come together on the core issues of Christianity. I mentioned mine for one. They are the Southern Baptist Convention. You can start with them, if you wish.
Go to the Presbyterians next and check them out. Go to the Lutherans, if you will -- and a whole host of other ones. They all have the core essentials of the Christian faith, in common, as espoused in the Bible, the Word of God, and affirmed by Jesus Christ (in word and deed).
