That's the denomination, though. That's what I'm talking about it being congregation-dependent. My church is actually UCC, but it's not. That is, we are Christ affirming, and monotheistic, etc. Our church is thinking of either leaving the UCC or dually affiliating with a more theologically conservative denomination (with an eye toward leaving eventually, when the last handful of UCC loyalists are gone), because much of the denomination's lip-service to Christ, Christianity, and the Bible is just that. My cousin has gone to a pagan solstice celebration with a UCC group. Another acquaintance (not from my church) who has told his pastor he is essentially a pantheist and has moved past religious faith in Christ, is invited by same to take leadership positions.
