Yes, this is where Michael Youseff pastors. He is actually a very good biblical teacher. I do know if I would call it a mega church. It is in a very affluent neighborhood. I do have some very good friends that attend there and we are for the most part in agreement doctrinally. Church of the Apostles is NOT a liberal church.

I'm on staff at In Touch Ministries and at one time we called Leading the Way (Michael Youseff's broadcast ministry) In Touch south. It is amazing how the Lord uses radio and television to reach closed countries with the Gospel! Both ministies are broadcasting in the Middle East.

Well, it's not a mega church compared to Mt. Paran Church of God a block away, but the style of the service is more in that vein than traditional Episcopal BCP services. And I wasn't calling it a liberal church by any means (thought I made clear it was a breakaway from ECUSA, not a follower) nor referring to the Biblical aspect, but to the church's abandonment of the Apostolic Succession and the pride of place of the liturgy.

For a High Church Episcopalian thinking about moving to a new church home, those two issues made this church a non-starter. But for folks who AREN't "high" (and believe me we were in a distinct minority in this diocese), it may be perfectly all right.
