.........but kinda' not. After seeing the news lately, I felt like I needed to make a clarification. The "United Church of Christ", as the one Barack Obama has brought to the limelight due to his membership, is not in any way, shape, form, or fashion associated with the the "mainstream" church of Christ. Just wanted to sure there wasn't any confusion there.

It's just called "church of Christ" (from Romans 16:16). No national headquarters, no by-laws, etc. Each congregation governs itself, although sister congregations do sometimes support each other for a common cause (missionary work, helping a new congregation get started, etc.).
Just wanted to point that out, as I know that in the past some folks have assumed they were the same--they aren't.
Lol Mac--take a wild guess!

Romans 16:16-19
[16] Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
[17] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
[18] For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
[19] For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
