There seems to be repeating here....not sure why....words: institutional - seems to be - movement - renewal of pietism? Do not wish to be judgmental so will not go on critiquing this conversation. My fellowship in church has been where I was carried in 95 yrs ago...oldest church in Pequea Valley (PA) affiliated wit Alliance of Mennonite Evangelical Churches (AMEC). Listening to this conversation would raise a simple question: Is Jesus in any way a part of the thinking here? One might wonder if the Reverend Dr. Holland would ever be blessed by singing: "Jesus loves me this I know...for the Bible tells me so." Not meaning to be judgmental....so, good night.
