There you go, fpo, now were talking. Doctrines and theology didn't bring me to the church in the first place, so they neither could hold me nor chase me off. It was all about people getting hurt, people getting neglected, people getting abused.

I was attracted initially by the love of God, the joy of the Spirit, and the freshness of the Word of God, but it was getting harder and harder to see any of that.
