    Ok, now I know it's time to look for a new church. The church I was baptized in is a UCC church. I love the atmosphere and the fact that they preach FROM THE BIBLE. But, our new "interim" pastor, is not a good guy when out of the church. This guy is such a womanizer he talked a nun into leaving the convent, married her, and left her for another woman.

    There are other little things too. I do like the open minded side of the church. But to debate over the divinity of Jesus?????????? That's rediculous.

    I have been away from church since our interim pastor started. Now I am thinking it may be a more permanent hiatis.
    REV 3:20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

    This comment is priceless

    "The whole point of this is that many of these people have a very fuzzy idea of faith in God," said the Rev. Albert W. Kovacs of the Hungarian Reformed Church. "We have significant numbers of clergy who don't believe in God."
    So what exactly do they preach about?

    Um, why would you choose the profession of clergy, if you don't even believe in God????
    We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 1 Corinthians 4:10

    Is the hungarian reformed church a part of the UCC?

    Isn't this is the same outfit that ordained a tranny minister that we discussed on this board last week?

    Unfortunately, this is likely, as I know there are a couple of openly g*y pastors in at least California in the UCC.
    REV 3:20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

    So does this mean they'll change their name to "United Church of Not-So-Divine-Christ, Possible Son of God or Distant Relation to Higher Being or Inner Self"

    I just wanted to point out that shady journalism, there. SO then does the reformed hungarian church have non-believing clergy, or does the UCC.
