Foul the Christian

[Worm of Despite]

Rus—I never said I thought the gender discussion was invalid; just that it might need it's own thread. But that's up to Fisty. Really I just want the best playing ground for you guys. . If it's here in the end, fair enough.

Again, for heaven's sakes, go Episcopal! But go that path because it is TRUE, not because it is pleasant, or merely because you happen to like it at the moment (a fickle thing that could change with the winds of your feelings). You can examine the history and find whether there is not a form of the faith even more true at your leisure.

something's been itching in the back of my mind...

I've been thinking that most people end up getting "burned" on churches because of unresolved conflict.

because if church is a "church family"... when you get "closer" and start to see ppl "warts and all," conflict is inevitable... wondering if you have someone to talk or an idea of what you'll do when that comes... (of course, that might already be transpiring by now.)
