Says the Protestant. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 27/01/2010 11:22:05 PM
The UCC has a long standing history of ascribing to beliefs/viewpoints that run counter culture to not only the Christian church as a whole, but the very theology that is supposed to be the basis of their faith.


Amusingly, most of the people who say this are neither Roman Catholic nor Orthodox. Slays me every time.
