The ice itself was 450 years old ~ the Disciples were barely a century old at the time ~ everybody knows that. This is the First purely American created Protestant church ~

I suspect you must be a member of the Disciples because “everybody” doesn’t know that—or care that they are the first purely American created Protestant church.

In fact, if you mention Disciples of Christ most folks eyes glaze over and they think you mean some weird little cult our in the backwoods.

It isn’t until you say, “You know, the churches that have Christian in their name and Texas Christian University is their religious university. That might get some recognition before their eyes glaze over again. Comparative religion is not the forte for most Americans.
