4. Thanks. I agree.

Not even with someone else's log on.
Post a summery so we can decide if it is even worth looking at.

6. I don't KEEP posting articles

One time, with the same article in two different forums.

And when I realized my mistake I corrected it.

Why do you keep harping on things without first letting a person respond?

[whistle]

7. Sorry YankeyMCC, I just saw both together and did not know

...why there was the redundancy and the sign in message. I apologize.

I am going to try the suggestions of the above post. Thanks

In May, 34 church leaders and Christian activists from Boston responded to his invitation and met in a small convent in Roxbury to discuss the plan. In September, the group will meet again to define its long-term goals.

''I called together these key leaders to talk about how could we put together an initiative to sell our product better, to be more relevant, and to communicate the message of the gospel in ways that would be a lot more digestible to the general public," Miranda said during in an interview in his spacious office overlooking Northampton Street

As the congregation grew, Miranda considered moving the church to the suburbs, where many members lived. Then, he said, he had a dream, in which enormous tarantulas were hovering over Boston.
