Metropolitan Community Church in trouble?
Sean says...
In that last year I became involved with the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) in Fairfax, VA. Unfortunately, I had to leave Rev. Kharma to move to Maryland with Stefan. Sorry God but the true love you told me about happened and I had to move! But I loved that church and still email back and forth with Rev. Kharma from time to time and get their online newsletter. It was an amazing congregation that really helped me through a rough time in my life and renewed my faith in God and myself. I plan to get active with the one near by soon but I miss my old one. All MCC's are congregational style organizations which define their own policies and process of worship. What I miss the most are the hugging at the beginning of church, the small town atmosphere, and the short prayer after communion with a volunteer. Anyways, I found this article today about MCC and thought I would share it. It talks about the history of the church but also talks about growing pains as well as organizational concerns with the church since its founder retired in 2005. Take a look!
