1. all right that does it.

I've been looking for a church that I could live with. I'm going to start visiting the Church of Christ.

2. be careful: its United Church of Christ....Church of Christ is very, very

different, in a funadmentalist sort of way.

Just warning you not to try the wrong one and get a nasty surprise.

Just remember UCC.

that's my church :)

7. you're welcome

I read this and thought this sums everything up that I, and others as well, have been saying about same-sex marriage

and it says it so much better than I ever could hope to

6. The UCC church is awesome, I hope the UMC catches up with them

I think we will, I know I'll be working in that direction.
