Dear Joe,

working to change a church to become more biblical is what I am seeking prayerfully to do. Our pastor did introduce elders into his prevous church so it may be something which will be addressed in due course. My passion is for evangelical unity and that is what I will continue to strive for.

As for planting a church I have no lawful calling from any church to do so. In any case there are much needier towns near us without even a church at the level of the one I serve.

Is my culture Christian? No, I'm culturally British. I don't believe there is any such thing as a Christian culture, but that's for another thread. The issue on travel isn't traffic but the strength of local attachment to community. That's part of my culture. It's not the same in America generally speaking.

In Christ,

James.
