Non-Denominational Ping!

[mnehring]

I've recently switched to a nondenominational church from the Episcopal church. The biggest thing I've noticed is that the ND church actually focuses mostly on teaching Christ. The Episcopal church had become nothing but a political machine (two directions in our town, right and left) and cared more about the splitting that it did teaching Christ.

I do miss, however, the more formal services. There seemed to be (when not obsessed with the political issues) an air of reverence. I'm not saying the ND church doesn't have that, it just is different. I am not crazy about the contemporary music either. I'm not an old fuddy-duddy either, but the ‘Christian Contemporary’ music mostly played in the ND church annoys me and seems somewhat empty. But that's just my opinion.

I do love the warmth of the ND church. They seem to have a goal of searching the scriptures, not just defending the ‘church’.

Hey, why no ping to me? I am/was on Revelation 911’s list. Please add me. I hate feeling left out. Thank you.
