United Church of Christ (Groß-Deutschland)

The United Church of Christ is an offshoot of the now moribund Mormon Church, as well as a Restorationist Church of Christ based on the discovery of the Didache in the middle east. Using the Didache as a basis, this new church sought a restoration to "basic Christianity," with an emphasis on faith in Christ, a modesty in one's dress and attitudes, and an emphasis on family and scholarship. The church holds nearly 12 million members.

Theology
The United Church of Christ bases itself on several tenets:
 * The Two Ways, as described in the Didache
 * The inerrant truth of the Bible
 * Mary is the Holy Mother, to whom one does not pray, but holds up as a paragon of motherhood.
 * The Didache shows Christians how they should live with one another, in addition to Paul's letters to the churches.
 * The Apocalypse of Peter and the Shepherd of Hermas show the torments of hell awaiting those who follow the way of death.
 * Women may not become clergy, but may serve the church and teach the Gospels.
 * The duty of all members is to God, then the family and its unity and harmony, through the teaching of the Gospels.
 * Divorce is only for cases of infidelity or acute abuse.
 * Marriage is only one man and one woman together.

Organization
The United Church of Christ has a relatively flat organizational structure, intended to mimic the early church. There are bishops, which lead a bishopric consisting of a number of churches. Deacons are leaders of a single church, which may have one or two priests per church. An Archbishop is elected from amongst the bishops, leading the entire church for three years, after which time he returns to his bishopric.

Organization:
 * Archbishop
 * Bishops over their bischoprics
 * deacons who head the running of a church
 * priests who run the church clergy
 * the Laity.
