LOL! That poem was great and cracked me up. I had to share it with my brother, Mark, here. I was going to ask if you wrote it, but he said he heard it before.
Church splits must be really rough--after you get to know everyone as family. Sad. My father has some poignant memories about church splits... He was an elder for one. He ended up stepping down, due to a minority vote to remove him.
My name's Joel Merritt, btw, in case you didn't find that out yet. (You can call me Dr. Merritt.)
You know, I think everyone is on the lookout for an agenda free church that will accept our own agendas. I guess the trick is to make sure that our agenda (which we all have to a point) is biblically based. Charity must be used in working with others. I think we get mixed up though many times when we think that our agenda is scriptural and others aren't, because that is when church splits happen, when we get so sure of ourselves and can't or won't accomodate others
No, no! Just kiddin'... Just Joel. ('Got carried away there. It seemed a bit strange for me to use my full name, as though I wanted you to use my last name.)

It seems really strange when I tell people my full name as well.
