Liturgies and churches

[Michael P. Barham]

Thanks for your thoughts -- it is good to know that people are pretty open
on the trail. I guess my concern is not wanting to outwardly express a
belief in a doctrine to which I do not adhere.

But I am sure that God will lead me to do what is right at each indivual
moment, and the grace to do it.
