And I have been told that Disciple's theology of salvation is a little different than what I know, but I could not tell you how.<br /><br />I know their progressive theology has lost them a lot of churches, including the one in our community which is now fundamentalist, charasmatic, and reformed. <br /><br />From what I have heard they are a good group.<br /><br />What led you to move away from ABC?

I had found myself without a denominational home for a while and was beginning to look for a good fit when I all of a sudden started meeting a bunch of Disciples folks. I started researching them and it just seemed like a good fit. They are mainline, yet congregationally organized. They are non-credal. They give a lot of theological flexibility yet are still united through the Eucharist. They have a huge emphasis on social justice. They are attempting to progress their denomination through a huge church planting/revitalization project. I guess those are some of the main reasons I am drawn there.<br /><br />Do you know much about the Disciples? I hadn't even heard of them until a few years ago. I don't remember any Disciples churches in Montana. There were a few, I think, but I just didn't know about them.Jason Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817789402021849537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099927438717066372.post-37305733660743008302011-12-02T23:11:46.857-07:002011-12-02T23:11:46.857-07:00How did you land w/ the Disciples?How did you land w/ the Disciples?Friar Tuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404281343475373969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099927438717066372.post-9141889561271684682011-12-02T18:11:28.879-07:002011-12-02T18:11:28.879-07:00I'm working toward being ordained in the Disci...I'm working toward being ordained in the Disciples of Christ. Still in the very beginning stages of the process though. Hopefully I'll be ordained sometime in the next year.Jason Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817789402021849537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099927438717066372.post-11206012475218585062011-12-02T18:01:39.587-07:002011-12-02T18:01:39.587-07:00What process of ordination are you planning on pur...What process of ordination are you planning on pursuing.
