There is no relationship whatsoever between the United Church of Christ and the churches of Christ. Most of the latter use a small 'c' as one means of distinguishing between them. The church of Christ has its roots in the Stone-Campbell restoration movement and is very Conservative, both theologically and politically.

As a contrast, some of the better known members of the United Church of Christ include Howard Dean, Julian Bond, Jim Jeffords and Jon Corzine. Compare that to prominent church of Christ members including Ken Starr (recently converted to Baptist as president of Baylor), Ted Poe, Fred Thompson and, surprisingly, Meat Loaf.

Is this the same Church of Christ that used to not use live music in their Services, and put out little "anti-dancing" tracts? One I saw said, "The passions aroused on the dance floor are often fulfilled after the ball."

Wow, if it's the same Church of Chrst.
