my apologies...

I apologize publicly for a previous post here (now deleted, so no need to look for it) in which I responded to the question about "why people leave churches". I should never have engaged in that discussion via the anonymous medium of the internet, since it allows anyone to say anything without any evidence or facts to back up their comments and leaves me in the position of needing to "defend" CLC against the charges, even when some of them are ludicrous.

No more - I refuse to engage in backbiting and criticism with fellow believers.

Simply put: CLC is not the church for everyone. If you don't value what happens here, there are lots of other churches in Chicagoland to choose from, and we bless you to do so.

For me, I'll return to the high road of positive, edifying remarks here.
