[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2698999, member: 13624"] This. I was baptized at University Lutheran in Norman. Many years later, as a student and new resident of Norman, I returned to the church where I was baptized. I showed up on my motorcycle, wearing a leather jacket and a helmet. They looked down on me. I didn't return. The church where I was baptized looked down on me without ever getting to know me (and in a university town, no less). I learned all I needed to know that day. I've since found another church that welcomes me as I am. Actually, more than one, but--and I'll grant that it's entirely a matter of personal preference--one whose message us comforting to me, and one whose services are. I don't count one above the other; both are important. I suppose it's the connection. [/QUOTE]
