		McKean, whom the FBI said was rewarded with more than $1.4 million in cash, diamonds and money put in Russian accounts, was skeptical about Moscow's promise that $800,000 was waiting for him in a Russian bank, the FBI said in its affidavit.

		McKean was under FBI and State Department surveillance from 1995 until last year, but he was not accused of having spied until last week.

	History Repeats Itself: Kip McKean & Chuck Lucas
		As well, the lives of Lucas and McKean appear to have been intertwined, the dynamic of their relationship starting out with Lucas as "the teacher" and McKean" the student", but later flip-flopping to the point where the student far surpasses the teacher.
		When Kip, thereafter, expected his closest disciples to identify themselves so thoroughly with him that they might today be mistaken for the first signs of human cloning, he was expecting no more than he had so willingly done himself.
		At this point in the evolution in the movement, Kip McKean had become more than just an up-and-comer within the mainline Churches of Christ (which his "Boston Movement" was still a part of); the growth of his ministry had surpassed Lucas' and he was clearly bucking for Chuck's position as "father" of the movement.

	Cult News from Rick Ross » Aging “cult leader” Kip McKean attempting comeback (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		McKean, a former campus minister let go by the Houston Memorial church of Christ in 1977, formed a splinter group often called a “cult” by its critics.

		Founder Kip McKean and other leaders in the ICOC movement refuse to be held accountable for their beliefs and actions.
		Central to that discontent was McKean’s emphasis on “discipling.” New recruits had to submit to the whims of church leaders, who eventually reported to McKean - a top-down structure that lead to the group’s downfall.
		In parts of the coastal United States, McKean’s congregation was called a “cult” and banned from college campuses, where the charismatic evangelicals were attracting vast numbers of young people drawn to their spirited ways.

		From what he has written, the extent of his perception of the harm is related to "roll-backs" of the ICC structure, such as 1) full-time ministers being accountable to their church's memberships and some leaving the ministry, and 2) the removal of a top-heavy hierarchy that he has confused with the Kingdom of God.
		What Kip McKean attempts to portray as a "crumbling wall" are these individual congregations of the ICC candidly speaking of their problems and striving to recover from the years of damage of this system.
		I was hoping that Kip McKean's past and present confessions would include specific apologies to Rick Bauer, Jerry Jones, Ed Powers, and others who, to use his own words in his resignation statement in 2002, "whose leadership gifts could have complemented" his.
