What is your particular faith? More particularly, what is the name of the church you attend?

What? You got a plan you'll enact so that our church will become Ground Zero for LDS missionary activity? :) [If we can convert C; anybody could converted. :)]

Let's just say "Evangelical Protestant" based upon 1 Cor. 3: "For whereas there is among you...divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man...Therefore let no man glory in men: for all things are yours...and ye are Christ's..." (vv. 3-5, 21, 23)

If Paul was writing to the church today, he would ask: "Who then is Calvin? Who then is Wesley? And who is Luther? Who is Knox? Who is the Pope?"

[And just as the historic church may need an adjustment as to how they see themselves, I would suggest LDS stop singing "Praise to the Man"--a hymn praising JoeSmith. God doesn't like competing with your "average Joe"]

I won't be defined by whatever minister men glory in. And those men never named churches after themselves, either.
