Beginning with the SBC we are now members of a "biblically minded" ECUSA church. The four things that attracted me were (1) the liturgic sensibleness of ecclesiastical and personal worship; (2) the good sense not to move the boundaries set by the tchittomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603445266088083067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906057071850888478.post-23495760067688068952007-10-24T00:31:00.000-05:002007-10-24T00:31:00.000-05:00Chris+,"That was the audience...That was the strat...Chris+,<BR/><BR/>"That was the audience...That was the strategy."<BR/><BR/>LOL.

I have read many Eastern and some western fathers and I feel they are closer to the early church than Rome.
