I felt irresistibly drawn to the Hefe Weissen.
And that would be a bad thing...?
As regards this article, there are good things and bad things about CPC's. The good is that it puts legs on the pro-life position. So you're serious about life being sacred? Good. Pay for pre-natal care and help the scared young woman get through this tough time in her life. Abortion is most usually a choice of desperation, and only rarely one for convenience.
The only problem with CPC's are when they use fraud, deceit, or manipulation to achieve their ends. Not justifiable under any circumstance.
It features a Reformed Christian Pastor.
Remember that this is a caucus thread, it is like a church meeting behind closed doors. Posters must behave as if they are guests in the other guy's church.
What a great name for a restaurant. :-)
Besides being an excellent beverage, Hefe Weissen is the most economical drink in the entire country, I think.
Why THEY serve huge Hefes and minuscule colas is beyond me.
And a brewery!
If I'm ever in Key West, I'll have to check this church out. (Because I'm Presbyterian and appreciate this guy's perspective on liberty - not because I want free beer ;-) )
What is interesting is how that is becoming the norm, though. Most of the kids I grew up with in the Plymouth Brethren are okay with alcohol. Two of the elders in my BPC church (a teetotaler denomination) have wine cellars and drink beer.
**Why THEY serve huge Hefes and minuscule colas is beyond me.***
You can say that again! (Oh, you did)
Because when push comes to shove, teetotaling just isn't a biblical requirement.
Sadly, my OPC brewmeister no longer attends the-little-OPC-that-could in Key West.
However, if you're ever in Miami... (he attends either OPC or PCA in the Miami area, don't remember for certain).

"To everyone who is not a member of the Protestant Caucus"
I forget, are neeners Protestant? Since we don't have or keep lists we can't be members of anything and we really don't know what we are or what we are for or against (so we can't really protest). I think I'm a Baptist but without a list, I don't know whether we are now Protestants. Back a while ago we weren't but with all the changes and now the Carter/Clinton Baptist Church of the Apostacy, I'm not sure.
Oh, I agree - but in both denominations I have been a member, the traditionalists would not agree.
You are covered under Post #3.
I am CERTAIN that neeners are Protestant.
We protest lists.
Nuff said!
What about those posters who argue against the designation Protestant?
It seems to me that the point of this article has nothing to do with Reformed Christianity as a denomination / Church. (Pardon my ignorance if Reformed Christian is another word for Protestant.)
Dear Gamecock,
"It features a Reformed Christian Pastor."
Yeah, I saw that.
Nonetheless, even if I as a Catholic were inclined to offer any criticism, I'm not sure how I would offer any criticism of Protestantism, per se.
I guess if you think you need a caucus label, I'm not sure I can think of a good reason why you can't.
It just seems puzzling.
Personally, even though the article seems to take a bit of a slant against the folks involved in saving unborn babies, I found the article uplifting, and am grateful for the efforts of the pro-lifers mentioned within the article.
Without regard to their membership in specific religious bodies.

Do I need to send cash or will a check do?
