Denominations don't hide the fact that they oversee their member churches. With that oversight comes numerous inherent controls and consequent loss of local freedom.
You can't have it both ways. Are you "local" churches or are you a denomination called Recovery.

Funny you should say that. This is a true story, I once knew a teenager who said that he wasn't going to be like his father and then 30 years later he was! It was hard for him to realize this and he was in denial for a few years, but eventually he realized that he and his father had a lot more in common than he wanted to admit. No names though, I want to protect his identity.
