Admittedly coming in during the middle of this conversation, I have nevertheless wondering why "betterment and expansion" are a "central aim" of a Church? I can see no other reason for expansion except to have more buddies to talk to. Betterment I can understand -- who wants a Church that doesn't strive to be and do better? Just curious about your thoughts along these lines. Lady Byron :)= 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
