From the I've seen it all dept: Condom distribution at church - UCC likes the idea

You are correct. If anything, the Churches of Christ have the reputation of being legalistic,(though the y are very congregational so experiences may vary) unlike the very liberal UCC.

Why not condoms? the UCC Hhurch I used to belong to and was raised in just hired a Lesbian Preacher with her significant other.

My father was the president of the church council 20 years ago and since they hired this thing, every senior member of the church has abdicated to another church.

In Missouri?

I hope you wanted to put a /sarcasm at the end of your statement.

Grandma I know what a Biblical based church is like, really. I grew up attending them, and then raised my son attending some. We left two because the theme was geting too far off the Bible. Did find another in that area. But since I moved, there are very few.

[liberalism is suicide]

The one Obama attended is *United* Church of Christ—not to be confused with the church of Christ, of which I am a member.

The ucc supposedly has a large population of homosexuals in their congregations and in the pulpits. This condom distribution is probably meant as their way of combating HIV/AIDS. Strange, but we live in a strange time.

[popdonnelly]

These churches are no longer places of worship, but only platforms for leftist diatribes and activism.

[buccaneer81]

Haven't found one that isn't full of liberals, except the Catholic Church,

Plenty of nutty liberals in the RCC. We conservative Catholics resist a lot harder.

[count-your-change]

What next? Lining up partners so the condoms won’t go to waste?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I left the Methodist Church over 40 years ago, it’s even worse now.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

I thought you were having trouble finding one. It’s getting harder all the time. About 15 years or so, we left the ELCA for the LCMS and the LCMS churches we’ve attended have been solid. We’re happy members now.

[gidget7]

I have had, grandma, but I live in MA! LOL so there you have it. Even the in laws left their church and have not found another, when their church went way to far and allowed a lesbian “pastor”. That was it for them.

There are three I have to chose from when visiting relatives, 2 of them in KY. When there I have to chose to go with Mom, or my brother. I like both.

[hinckley buzzard]

This is the same organization, the "United Church of Christ(UCC)." It has little to do with Christ and really hasn't been a church for some time.

[hinckley buzzard]

Strange, but we live in a strange time.

As one observer of the episcoplaina meltdown put it, "Weird things happen when the 'powers and principalities' begin to get the upper hand.'

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I want to stay with Missouri Synod Lutheran in which I was raised. I just need to find one in my area that fits. The last one was Wisconsin Synod and it wasn’t as ‘by the book’ as I prefer. I go to hear the word, not glad hand everyone and spend a lot of time fund raising and padding the church coffers. I’m not naive; I know part of it is doing good works; it just shouldn’t get in the way of saving my soul, you know? ;)

When I joined, the church was 100% debt-free. By the time I left a few years later, they were $600K in debt for church improvements and building a school and a daycare. It was becoming a circus, IMHO, and the leadership was questionable from the top down.

[SharpRightTurn]

The church of Christ (very conservative) is unrelated to the UNITED Church of Christ (extremely liberal).

[elpadre]

and they get weird-er every day
