liberalism...politics, doctrine, and practice. More interested in it's own history than the Bible. It won't be long before they ordain homosexuals. They (the denomination) have a wing of "Goddess" worshippers. They are environmental wackos...enough? My whole family left in 1981.

Actually the local church I grew up in, is very conservative now. My younger brother, Steve, returned and is basically in charge of the congregation. :-) They go by the name of "New Life Christian Fellowship" And I have preached there twice this year! There are a few there that want me to come and be their pastor. BUT too much family...I'm related to half or more of them. If God said DO IT! I'd do it.
