One of the reasons that a church I pick won’t have “fathers” or anyone who gives themselves a title that presumes importance. The people running the church are no more holier than the ones in the pews, the ones running the church are no less sinners than the people in the pews.

The services can take place anywhere, it doesn’t even have to be indoors. Any 2 or 3 can hold service in a living room or backyard on Wednesday night and it is no less “church” than Sunday morning in the building with others.

So I agree with you mostly.

Completely agree!!! I have recently had a running "conversation" with another freeper who thought it was disgusting that communion was passed out to 3 million people in Brazil in plastic cups. I thought it was incredibly wonderful that 3 million people were celebrating Jesus! I'm for substance rather than "ceremony".
