I suspect it has a lot to do with the negative triggery connotation that many liberal Christians have associated with the phrase, "Jesus is Lord." It evokes a feeling and image of Christianity that progressive denominations want to distance themselves from. Speculating as an outsider, I don't think it necessarily reflects any intent on the part of people within the UCC to deny the prime position of Jesus Christ as redeemer.
