Disciples of Christ leadership in Indianapolis has been infected with secularism and wokeness. It is the independence of local congregations that keep it conservative for the most part. Our pastor of 30+ years never speaks politics from the pulpit other than reminding folks to vote on election day. Unfortunately he is retiring in 6 months, but being 66 years old, none of us blame him though NONE of us desire to lose him.
Another DoC minister 50 miles north of us, is on the secular side and pushes the current secular religious garbage and apparently his congregation likes it.
Our local DOC pastor is retired and came back to pastor that church because it was conservative and he didn’t have to “play the game”. He can talk about about the deer he killed that week without Karen huffing out the door.
