Notes on my visit to Carmel Welsh Presbyterian Church, Sebastopol, Victoria, Australia

  We were attracted to the current sermon series, which for the four Sundays in February and first Sunday of March are entitled: Religion is so Intolerant-(the one we heard). Faith seems irrelevant. Hasn't Science discredited faith? What about all the suffering? and You can't trust the Bible.

Okay, coupla things to set the stage. First of all, I'm not the leader--I'm in no way shape or form part of the leadership team at this church. But "leader" is just as true as "none" or "regular attender" with regards to my relationship to this church. And since it irks me that those are the only three categories under "relationship to this church" in church rater's form, I went ahead and put "leader"

So I went over to the church because I've been meaning to for a while, because a friend of mine, Markus, went on staff there a while ago as associate pastor (I think that's the name of his position). Another friend of mine and Markus', Walter, also met me there so we attended together.

"I must say this church would be a great fit for just about anybody. " Isn't that a bit of a stretch? I wonder if you can think of any people or groups of people that this church *wouldn't* be a...
