A score-card for posters/lurkers:

1.
United Church of Christ: the liberal church body that Obama is affiliated with.

2. (mainstream) Churches of Christ: a fairly conservative church group
found mostly below the Mason-Dixon Line. Each congregation is autonomous.
Affiliated institutions include: Abiline Christian University,
David Lipscomb University, Lubbock Christian University, Pepperdine U.

3. International Church of Christ (ICC): a group that splintered off
from the mainstream Churches of Christ (in the 1970s?).
The group has been described as a cult in the media due to the fairly
harsh “discipling” and recruitment practices. A few years ago there
was talk that the leadership of the ICC was softening and might try
to re-affiliate with the mainstream Churches of Christ again.

Are any of these associated with the Disciples of Christ founded by Alexander Campbell?
