I know something about the Church of Christ. Fred was not a member of the liberal church. I’ve read about the church in Lawrenceburg where he was a member. His momma is a member of a noninstitutional [conservative] church in Brentwood. There is no way that the church in Lawrenceburg where he grew up was anything but conservative. No instrumental music in worship, no dancing, among other things.
I suspect that may be part of the reason he doesn’t attend regularly in McLean. Another freeper says Fred does attend there in McLean. Where he lives in Virginia might have very different beliefs than the churches in Tennessee where he worships, possibly more liberal. I read in an early article last spring that Fred and Sarah raised their three children in the church of Christ, but a recent article had Sarah being from a Methodist background. His oldest son Tony now goes to a Methodist church.
Sarah gave an interview to a newspaper and talked about Fred’s parents and their beliefs and they were definitely conservative.
Thanks lilly. This is how rumors get started and spread all across the internet. That’s how the rumors of Fred announcing on July 4th got started and are now considered fact. It’s better to nip this in the bud rather than trying to correct the record later.
