Actually, I'd have called it fundamentalist, espousing literal Bible language per KJ, and guess what? That church building and congregation with that exclusiveness and its aging members no longer exists, leveled to the ground in fact, as members left for more liberal churches with a more welcoming attitude toward diversity, and a service vision within their community. Such a shame

Surprised, but not at all unhappy, by this news!
