Cultwatch identifies Boston Movement as Cult.

The Church of Christ has had its share of interlopers over time. In the 80s it was beset by a group called the Crossroads Movement that started in Gainesville Florida, at the Crossroads Church of Christ. This dies a slow and painful death, but was reborn as the Boston Movement in the late 90s. The Crossroads Movement was the brainchild of Chuck Lucas, who bequeathed it to Kip McKean (search ^F "other issues") in Boston. The movement is now known as the International Church Of Christ and is on cult watch websites like cultsoncampus and cultwatch.com. I was surprisingly gratified that Wikipedia designated them correctly. Kip McKean recently stepped down per Cultwatch.com, but at the moment (1527hrs on 3/29/08,) I can only hit the homepage - intuitively not the standard DOS attack. I don't know who the new leader is.
