My in laws are Baptist and we're Presbyterian......I only visited their church one time - that was when I witnessed how she acted toward the group that was brought in........
I'm sure the intentions were good in bringing some people to church who might not otherwise have had a ride, but it almost appeared to be a "show" of "look how kind we are to bring in these dirty people"......... obviously my MIL wasn't even decent enough to recognize the reason they were there......
This preacher Allen reminds me of the circuit riders in Western PA in the 1770's and 80's that established the Presbyterian congregations in Western PA.
