Which is why I don't too worked up over whether someone goes to a Presbyterian, Catholic, Unitarian, Mennonite (as was my father), Baptist, or yes, Mormon church.

and thats your right I guess.....I'd caution that the body of work in our creeds plays to a fair degree, if merely a profession of faith in the doctrine of the Bible as Christians see it. I think you see a large degree of contentiousness here due largely that a faith group has out stepped those bounds of what "traditional" would characterize itself as, yet remains intent on using the monikker....mormons and unitarians included.

We need to guard our faith and doctrine, remember - the path is narrow

aside, I had opportunity to play a game with a mennonite mentor and friends of mine when I was a free methodist....it was called "mennonite madness"....it was fun fun game - did you by chance ever play it ?

No, never heard of it.

My dad was raised in small town Indiana, a product of very conservative group of Swiss/Germans who came to the US around 1906.

Every summer, the family (we live in Pennsylvania) would go to Indiana where we went to the Mennonite church.

It seemed to me, a youngster at the time, very similar in tradition and doctrine to the Baptist church I attended in Penna.

My Indiana relatives also lived side by side with Amish, who were VERY VERY conservative.
