Hi Jeanie, ((( Smiles )))
Ohhh.. This is a long thread..
Just scanned it but we are comeing together here and people
are talking.. Interesting but it will take time to read it all
so I'll just focus on this..
I was brought up in the Church of the Nazarenes..
But for all the years I went to Church back then..
I think I've learned more over the last past years
then I learned in all that time..
Maybe it was because I was really young or..
I'm not quite sure but..
Then I became Baptist and...
Well.. It's all been on a path that has lead to this..
But when I was sick with T and H...
I couldn't even leave the house..
And the last time I went to a Church event of recent..
It was an outdoor picnic baptism and my severe autistic child
was very very vocal and loud and...
It just didn't work out well..
But people seemed nice about it but..
But it's just to hard..
But my other child loves sunday school but it's like the basic really..
So I've been reading/ teaching her..
But.. I found this site long ago and..
It's interesting reading....
A Church Without Walls........

Herbert W. Armstrong, Plain Truth magazine, Sept. 1963, Personal pg.1
There are people we serve who can't find a healthy, well-balanced church close to their home.
There are people who can't, for health reasons, leave their home.
There are people who find it difficult to find or pay for transportation to get to the church they would like to attend.
I've been an ordained minister for over 30 years -- why not reach those who cannot or will not attend church in a building?
From the Plain Truth...
Note.. I do not belong to this Church....
But what they write about regarding disabled people or people who are ill...
Or the reasons one may not attend a Church..
There are people we serve who can't find a healthy, well-balanced church close to their home..
And what a Church really is..
Sitting in a building does not transform us into being Christian -- and it doesn't necessarily maintain our Christianity.
Very interesing site...
Thought I'd share it...
Take Care
