14. There's actually quite a bit of difference between "sects" of American Christianity

It's not possible to paint with a broad brush and describe every nuance of every sect in a comparison, but there is a group of Christians, broad use of the term in the sense that they have connected the values they practice with those of Jesus Christ, whose doctrine and theology is "Christocentric," in their recognition of Jesus as the Christ, and which contradicts the populist, conservative Evangelical brand of Christian faith. Seems like the Episcopal Church in the USA, at least many of its clergy and congregations, have caught this strong, along with groups like the United Church of Christ, the Quakers and Unitarians. I've made the jump myself, discovering that I was much more suited, from my own Christian practice of values and principles, to be a Quaker than a Baptist.
