There is no mind control from the top for the UCC, also they are very laid back.
They see communion as an act of sharing, you don't have to sign away your life or your money.
---------------------------
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Church_of_ChristThe UCC maintains full communion with other mainline Protestant denominations. Many of its congregations choose to practice open communion.[4] The denomination places high emphasis on participation in worldwide interfaith and ecumenical efforts.[5][6] The national settings of the UCC have historically favored liberal views on social issues, such as civil rights, gay rights, women's rights and abortion rights. However, United Church of Christ congregations are independent in matters of doctrine and ministry and may not necessarily support the national body's theological or moral stances. It is self-described as "an extremely pluralistic and diverse denomination".[7]
There is no UCC hierarchy or body that can impose any doctrine or worship format onto the individual congregations within the UCC.[13] While individual congregations are supposed to hold guidance from the general synod "in the highest regard", the UCC's constitution requires that the "autonomy of the Local Church is inherent and modifiable only by its own action".[14]
