I have pretty much lost faith in the institutional church, but not totally. There are some great things happening in some churches that humble and amaze me, and certainty don't fit my paradigm. Part of the reason for my lose of faith in church as we have known it stems from my personal experiences, just like your confidence stems from your recent experiences. I like to challenge you because you can take it. I have always had a lot of confidence in you and wish you well. My conclusion:we each need to be true to our calling and love those who differ. Can I get an "amen"? Aaron ~

Everything is spiritual isnt it! ;) When we start getting to the point about who is doing ministry full time and who isnt, that’s the real shame. Everything is spiritual isnt it! ;)

I didn't mean disrespect either. I did go on a personal rant related to my own experiences and I assumed that your experiences are similar, but I really meant it more as a way of saying 'Please keep in mind that the pain and frustration only happen in the church.' I hear a lot of Pastors who seem to think that all of the pain and anxiety they face in the church is something that people working outside of the church don't deal with and don't understand. I'm glad to hear you are in a Church that is a part of helping you find healing. oh, so it’s related to being a Cubs fan then, I take it?
