You got that right. The upper echelon leadership of most protestant denominations are leaning farther and farther to the left, and a lot of the parishoners of those churches have no idea what their leadership stands for.
Say what? The leadership in most Protestant churches isn't leaning left. They fell flat on the floor and began to dig into the earth decades ago. Only the parishioners left in their dead churches don't know.
Hold your horses here. The "Disciples of Christ" are NOT "mainline Christians". I have never even heard of them until now. This is like attaching Phelps (of the godhatesfags.com) to the Southern Baptist just because he calls his church "Baptist".
