Choosing a congregation: Whom do I want to bury me?

Rodney Clapp writes in The Christian Century: “A while ago someone suggested to me that the best way to choose a congregation is to ask oneself: Are these the people I want to bury me?”  Blessed be the ties that bind, The Christian Century, May 5, 2009, p.61.

Clapp goes on to compare what he calls the ‘Catholic’ and ‘Protestant’ attitudes toward church membership and commitment.

It’s worth a read.

    Thanks for this, I’m in the process of looking for a congregation and it looks like this could be useful. (Haven’t read it yet but will do.)
