gotribe said: Welcome to the Highway! What is a "barebones" Presbyterian?
Thanks for the welcome, gotribe. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bananas.gif" alt="" /> In the context I meant that I am not one of the Presbys who hold to a very elaborate form of worship. I'm also "barebones" in the sense that I'm not a big one on ecclesiastical centralization (having a greater trust in the elders of the local congregation than I do generally for synodocrats 1000 miles away). There are some who object to my terms "barebones" and "minimalist." I wouldn't argue with those who simply wanted to call me a constitutionalist.
Our worship is simple, our church building is not very ornate, we dress and live modestly. Hmmmn. I guess I invest the term with more meaning than I originally thought. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif" alt="" />
