I grew up in the presbyterian church, even visited a methodist church for a while, and their inner workings always seemed so mysterious and from “on high.” Decisions and judgments handed down from the session of elders — or even worse, the area presbytery. 
Unless one was tapped for a committee or the like, there was no congregational governing. The above pic? A good gracious, full-on baptist “town hall” meeting at Capstone Community Church’s new location on West Whitner. It was a called Wednesday night question-and-answer reunion, to discuss moving into the newly acquired building, which needs a LOT of work to get up to code. (Note the ladder at the left. ) I kinda sat there amazed as lay people shared their professional insight into the construction needed and the monies coming and going. Quite a trip. By the way, love the green carpet, don’t you?
