Thy Geekdom Come Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Now, Lil Red, that is a much happier avatar. You've made my day. I would add "Ecumenism" and "Interfaith Matters" as some people take it too far and some people don't agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 it's happier because my hubby comes home late tomorrow night, and i'm so excited cuz i haven't seen him in 27 days!!!! btw, thanks for the info!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I'm glad you get to see your hubby again. God bless you on your remeeting. I think liturgy is also a hot-button issue...so many in the Church-accepted range, but then others who break the rules a LOT in either direction.

AndreaMercer Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I think another big issue is how to vote responsibly. I suppose that's not so much an issue with other denominations as much as within the american church itself. People have a hard time with that I think.
