The church we attended in Texas had started out Episcopal and the priest converted and several of his "flock". He was by far the most faithful to the Church we've ever had.

My sister-in-law, who is protestant, had just found a church and was very happy with it until their pastor decided he had to move back to CA to make his wife happy. Their little church had to advertise for a new minister and in the mean time was lead by elders in their church. They were young and in-experienced. Finally they all just drifted into other little churches. Now her new church just lost their minister. And she is going through it all over again. His wife was jealous of all the time he spent away from home, because he also had a 40 hour a week job, due to the fact the little church can't afford to pay him much.

Well, my minister drives me absolutely bananas...so far left and way out..if it wasn't for the fact that I love our little church, and many of our friends and neighbors also belong, I'd have left years ago.....Two years ago, we had four baptisms, and the minister devoted his sermon as to how "immaculate conception was the FIRST sexually transmitted disease."....yep..god's truth, that's what he said..I was the LEM at that service, and I almost walked right out....
