Re: Visiting Other Churches
It's time the coc abandons their denominational like behavior of meeting in buildings. The example is to meet in homes. That is an example that doesn't require any form of necessary inference or expedience. It's hypocrisy...and it's cheaper. Amen! You sound like my husband and me discussing the $$ ...

Re: Visiting Other Churches
The CofC that my dad attended before my mother's death is about to start building a new building. My dad is fretting over the fact that they might sell the building to a "denomination". Wow! The things we were told about visiting other churches when growing up were mostly lies also!

Re: church of Christ phrases
I always loved the "everything must be decently and in order". What does that even mean? That is not a CofC phrase per se unless we are arguing that Paul was in the CofC...which is the argument. From 1 Cor 14 26What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a ...

Re: Where do we go from here?
Hi and welcome to the ex board - It kind of looks like you are looking for a church that isn't a coc but does everything just like a coc does. Have you considered taking a short break from church-hopping, and doing a little research into Christian belief and practice, before deciding exactly what y...

Re: Where do we go from here?
Welcome. Our experience and background sound to be very similar to yours. I am a curious that you mention the struggle that came over enduring a split but nothing mentioned about your exit yourself from a local CofC...usually that entails some "feedback" from the local congregation. We to...

Re: Where do we go from here?
Welcome! I now attend a Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and we have weekly communion. Independent Christian Churches also have weekly communion. I don't feel like you HAVE to do it every week, but my husband and I like having it weekly. We are used to that, and feel like something is missing...

Where do we go from here?
My husband and I have left the CofC after being CofC before we were born. We were both raised in a conservative church and were very active. My husband was a deacon at one time and we were in charge of various programs. We survived a church split at a church that we loved and I think that is what st...
