I've attended UPCI and ALJC churches but today I'm independent. UPCI is said to be more conservative than ALJC. But that doesn't mean that there aren't liberal UPCI or conservative ALJC churches.
I believe that when Christianity started in Judea it was a fellowship. When Christianity spread to Greece it became a philosophy. When it spread into Italy, it became an institution. When it finally saturated Europe, Christianity became a culture. And after spreading to America, Christianity became an enterprise.
I see these organizations as simply incorporated franchises of Apostolic Christianity.
