Reply #126: I have never had a chance to attend any on the west coast

Though I did notice the San Francisco cOfC is right beside City Hall downtown when I was attending some training in Sunnyvale. The one thing to always remember about the cofC, The Christian Church, and some other non-Denominational churches is there is no heiracrhy, conventions, or other organization. The closest the cofC even comes to a school is Pepperdine and Abiliene Christian in Texas. I fully agree with you, churches do not need to be involved in politics, it is not the place. I know for a fact at least one "church" in my hometown does not even use its tax exemption allowed to churches for the specific reason it could engage as an organization in the political pulpit activism that you express anger over.

Not sure what your stand is on religion or Christianity one way or the other but you can find that the cofC comes in many stripes, not just the "Baptist without the Piano" ones you seem to have seen.
