Context paragraphs:
National Evangelical Christian Fellowship: The National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF) is an ecumenical body in Malaysia comprising evangelical Protestant denominations and churches, member of the World Evangelical Alliance.  It was formed in 1983 when divisions, dissipation of meagre resources and the lack of a credible, united evangelical voice became acutely noticed when certain constraints developed in the country.  These constraints included the partial banning of Malay translation of the Bible, the limiting of the number of sites for worship which affected the status of independent churches and the outlawing of public gatherings of five or more people.

Tradition: A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past.  Common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyers' wigs or military officers' spurs), but the idea has also been applied to social norms such as greetings.  Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of years—the word "tradition" itself derives from the Latin "tradere" literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping.  While it is commonly assumed that traditions have ancient history, many traditions have been invented on purpose, whether that be political or cultural, over short periods of time.  Various academic disciplines also use the word in a variety of ways.

United Church of Christ: The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination, with historical confessional roots in the Reformed, Congregational and Evangelical Protestant traditions, and "with over 5,000 churches and nearly one million members".  The United Church of Christ is a historical continuation of the General Council of Congregational Christian churches founded under the influence of New England Puritanism.  The Evangelical and Reformed Church and the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches united in 1957 to form the UCC.  These two denominations, which were themselves the result of earlier unions, had their roots in Congregational, Christian, Evangelical, and Reformed denominations.  At the end of 2014, the UCC's 5,116 congregations claimed 979,239 members, primarily in the United States.  In 2015, Pew Research estimated that 0.4 percent, or 1 million adult adherents, of the U.S population self-identify with the United Church of Christ.

Evangelical Christian Church in Canada: The Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples) as an evangelical Protestant Canadian church body in North America (2004) can be traced to the formal organization of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in 1804, in Bourbon County, Kentucky under the leadership of Barton Warren Stone (1772–1844).  The Stone Movement later merged with the efforts of Thomas Campbell (1772–1854) and his son Alexander Campbell (1788–1866) to become the Restoration Movement that gave birth to the Churches of Christ (Non-Instrumental), the Christian churches and churches of Christ, the Churches of Christ (non-institutional), and the Disciples of Christ.  The Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples) as a separate group within the Restoration tradition was reorganized in 2001.  The Evangelical Christian Church's national office in Canada is in Waterloo, Ontario.

Anti-intellectualism in American Life: Anti-intellectualism in American Life is a book by Richard Hofstadter published in 1963 that won the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction.  In this book, Hofstadter set out to trace the social movements that altered the role of intellect in American society.  In so doing, he explored questions regarding the purpose of education and whether the democratization of education altered that purpose and reshaped its form.  In considering the historic tension between access to education and excellence in education, Hofstadter argued that both anti-intellectualism and utilitarianism were consequences, in part, of the democratization of knowledge.  Moreover, he saw these themes as historically embedded in America's national fabric, an outcome of its colonial European and evangelical Protestant heritage.  Anti-intellectualism and utilitarianism were functions of American cultural heritage, not necessarily of democracy.
