First, that should have been intradenominational....
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.
But it may. One satire of the UCC: "Unitarians Considering Christ." Probably uncharitable to both groups, but you get the idea. But again, looking on from the outside.
What connotations/images are associated with "Christ is Lord"? The only ones that I can think of that anyone wants to distance themselves from have nothing to do with being progressive or liberal - except maybe in the formal Catholic heresy sense of the word.
