I am trying to use the OpenChurch distro (and the theme) in a new project. I first created a subtheme of openchurch_theme. I kept running into issues where my custom subtheme would look more like Bartik than anything else. I looked around for awhile trying to figure out the issue since I am pretty new to the Drupal 8 way of doing things. After looking around awhile I think that the issue is (at least partially) because the OpenChurch theme relies heavily on ids in the css, which change based on what theme is being used. For example, for the main navigation styling there are a lot of ids like #block-openchurch-theme-account-menu. Using a subtheme, the markup on the site changes to #block-mysubtheme-theme-account-menu, where mysubtheme is the name of the subtheme. Obviously, then the styling from the base OpenChurch theme doesn't get applied.

I am going to look into this some more as a way to help me learn Drupal 8 theming, but wanted to submit an issue here to get things started.
