After reading this article I had some crazy church growth ideas. Why don't we try being pro-life, pro-liturgy, and pro-Lord's Supper. It just might work:
"It seemed like this was what had been missing our whole lives.”
It would be much better if we did it than have people go to the RCC for these things.
Thoughts of Faith was my creation. It had noble and spiritual goals. It is so sad to see that the ELS is still passing a monumental scam as a legitimate mission. Will someone please demand an audit. Begin with Bishop Horpenchuk's 8,000 sq. foot home built outside of Kiev on a $1.000 monthly salary.
