Emerging Spirit @ The United Church of Canada Emerging Spirit @ The United Church of Canada

I think all clergy are domineering, close minded and only interested in speaking with saved souls of a certain age and bank balance.
Lay people are lazy, and when they do speak up it is only to create mischief and sow seeds of descent, if not pure evil.
I have also seen that the only time people really get involved in online discussions is if they are:
(a) really into that kind of thing (geeks), and then only on the sites they are involved in
(b) they are tasked to do it
(c) they are offended
After three weeks online I've only seen one long thread (type c), so I figured I would offend everyone and see what else we can get posted. Hence this is a welcoming post. Welcome online, you've been flamed.
Have you ever felt welcomed? Where and how?
Have you ever been unwelcomed?
Is your church doing something right, or maybe wrong?
Have you posted a Biography of yourself?
