I once knew a girl who was smart, attractive, kind, well-liked, active in 'good' causes; but still was really kind of a wall flower. Well, in a church that is like the Christian, disciples of Christ Church. It's all there, but this group lacks, well, dare I say it, Sex appeal.
This group is ecumenical to a fault; a good theology; active in the right causes. And their chruch building are quite nice. But somehow they just don't have it. At one time they did, but now they are seldom mentioned. Of course, we ask why. I can't really answer that. I just know that in our fair city, their downtown church use to average at least a thousand on any given Sunday. Now it's down to about 200. Maybe the name they go by---The Christian Church---is a little too obvious. Maybe if they changed their name to something like "The Latter Day Good Christians" they might come back But I think the real reason is they can't be identified by someone they hate. After all, the fundamentalists HATE those who don't believe every last blommin' word in The Book. The "liberals" think of the Bible as just the longest running best seller, and hate the fundamentalists; The Catholics hate democrats; the Anglicans hate each other---get my point?
So if your daughter wants to marry into this group---well, it really won't make any difference.
