	History Repeats Itself: Kip McKean & Chuck Lucas
		After his resignation, McKean continues to be financially supported by ICC leadership and retains a role in the "full-time ministry".
		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.
		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.
