Try attending a PCUSA service without running out with your hands over your ears...

PCUSA, ECUSA, UMC, Lutherans -- they're all sliding down the chute. I'm now in a home church with six members. We meet in each others' homes to worship and phone each other every few days to talk, relate scripture to our life challenges, and pray together.

Your “home” church sounds like an answer to what’s going on in the mainstream churches, just like in Ireland after the edict that everyone should be Anglican, the Irish had “hedge churches” up on a hill with a priest, and if they saw the police coming, they would all disperse.

In the Catholic Church, we have something like that going on, too. We call ourselves “The catacomb church” because we meet mostly in Catholic Church basements in the simplest of circumstances, where the Latin Mass is said. But now maybe we will have a little more freedom since we don’t have to get permission from the Bishop to have Latin Mass.
