Sinkspur, You are to be commended. It is rare to find a person of your caliber.

Thank You. However, I'm considered a "liberal" around this place, and not in the "mainstream", since most here yearn for the Church of the 1950s.

God help us if we return to that triumphalistic, clericalist Church. Ritual, and ceremony, and codas were not the mark of The Nazarene.

My Church has often been a Church of "bending down" to the little people, rather than a community of "lifting up" all men in prayer to Jesus.

I appreciate your kind words, and invite your participation here. I've got as many questions as you do.

In turn I appreciate and welcome your participation.

...do all to the glory of God.

Your implication Deacon is that the "NEW" Church bears the Mark of "The Nazarene" and that what preceeded did not. Is that really what you mean? Isn't that the LDS view?
