Really "Non-Denominational"

Which is how universalists reachout to doubting christians and other people that are struggling.

Edenside Christian Church in the Highlands has begun offering a different kind of worship experience with its monthly Thomas Mass -- a nondenominational, alternative worship service open to people of all faiths and spiritual backgrounds.

Thomas Masses were started in Finland in the late 1980s and were named after the disciple Thomas -- "Doubting Thomas" -- with the idea that doubters and people without a religious connection could address the spiritual side of their lives.

"I think it really gets to the heart of the matter. We're all one, together seeking God, regardless of faith traditions," she said. "It's a place where all people come seek and find God in their own way, without the barriers of doctrine."

I guess they don't see how absurd that is.

Ahh, the good ole liberal bastion of the Highlands back in my home town.


Also for another article I happened to come across on the Courier Journal's website...

Contraception War

I was actually really suprised by Mohler's comments. I wonder what the Baptists think about his comments, they sound kind of....Catholic.

I went back and actually found Mohler's original comments...in this article called

Can Christians Use Birth Control?

Although some protestants are starting to see the truth of the Catholic Churches' teaching on this they still have a ways to go. ie. there is no biblical mandate to have as many children as possible...hmm, I think the first mandate was something like "go forth and multiply". Although this doesn't exactly say "as many as possible" the bible is pretty clear about going forth and multiplying and recieving the blessings of children as much as possible while we cooperate with the natural law implicit in creation.

Mohler is close, but no cigar. But there is hope. I consider his statements as a pretty big step in the evangelical world but I think he needs to realize his contradictions.
