....”At my church, for example, we intentionally look past all that fru fru every Sunday. We routinely pray for other churches.”......
I attended a church as that in Pa. for almost a year, (I moved). And it was very much like that as well...in fact for our Bible Study we had Pastors from other churches attend that...mostly because our Pastor was such an outstanding teacher and how he conducted the study...he never taught as if he had all the answers...rather he invited others opinions and wanted discussion....so you can imagine how all learned...it was the best church gathering I have ever attended....discussions got very deep into God’s Word .... it was wonderful!
Better to be able to express our concerns and thoughts than just be spoon fed what we are to believe, no questions asked.
