Peter,

I would generally agree with you. When we decide that we are not meeting with certain ones for something less than heresy or gross sin being allowed rather than meeting with others for some valid (even if non-spiritual) reason, then there is something that should be considered. When I say that I do not have any disdain for denominations in general (which I do not think I actually said, but would say), I do not ignore that there are potentially problems with some aspects of our separation. But I do not see any practical way that this will be overcome by one group laying claim the “the” way. This is especially true of the LC.

My point was simply a scenario that stands in the face of the LC doctrine and practice. It requires that the LC take a stance FOR things that are not central to the gospel in running their little sect. And they do it quite well.
