Judy,
"Community" Churches, aren't for the most part liberal. However, they're very loving, open and modern and i think you'll feel very at home there.
i just didn't want to be misunderstood when i was writing about liberal and conservative. i don't really like those terms anyway.
#1 is going to a Bible-based church, i think, but also if you feel ministered to by the pastor, and if you like the people, and feel yourself growing closer to God and both as individuals and a family, you can't go wrong...
there's been recent scholarly studies that show that people who regularly attend church are healthier, happier, and live longer than those who don't...
your therapists et al are right, you should make it a priority..
Dog> I really liked the liberal and family values of your church. I'm not very familiar with different Protestant denominations, so your post was a great help. I'll definitely look up the closest church and speak to the pastor.
> thanks again, judy
