Baptist = Republican?

I'm not quite sure this is what Luke meant when he reported in Acts that the early church "had everything in common". Read this Associated Press article.

While violating several facets of the creedal Baptist Faith and Message (including, but not exclusively the ideas of grace and cooperation), at least they hold to its view of the church, operating "through democratic processes", right?


You can't help but laugh sometimes at our own inadequacies.

Man, it's interesting the UNeternal things we can sometimes pre-occupy ourselves with in the Body. I wonder what the unsaved around us think of our unity when they hear of stories like this.

Well said, A guy named Steve. We Christians shoot ourselves in the foot so much that it's a wonder we can still walk.
