He was referring to Church Government.

Also, I don't see anyone creating threads for the sole purpose of attacking your beliefs, despite the fact that many on here do have some disagreements with you.

Most of us disagree with Presbyterianizing the Church, but respect his right to his belief.

I think you will find Presbyterians have a theological view which if not directly, at least indirectly opposes beauty in churches.

Remember, I don't hold that view.

:doh:
Yeah, I think we should tar them all with the same brush!
:confused:


Why the attack on Presbyterians? I grew up Presbyterian, and the church my family went to was very beautiful.

Quite honestly sounds more like a Quaker Meeting House than any of the Presbyterian churches I've seen.

Glenn, all of us here are Anglican for a variety of different of reasons and we have all experienced that tremendous joys that Anglicanism has to offer. . However I don't really feel that attacking other belief systems is appropriate, particularly now as we approach the climax of Holy Week.

Rather than dwelling on what divides us and how we differ from our other brothers, why don't we instead gaze, in simple humility, at the foot of the cross - upon the feet of the only one in whom salvation may be found.
