Fitting into structure and abiding by policy becomes the means of maintaining the machine rather than loving one another in order to display Christ (I don't like that either).

Lewie, you and I have discussed the fallicies of the institutionalized church for years now ... I am in the process of acting on my convictions ... my resignation will become public in 2 weeks ... I'm stepping off the payroll of the local church in order that I may be/become a more responsible and effective Christian ... your post on the matter meets me there and brings affirmation to this process ... your friendship moreso.
