The churches I have been to are very closed off. They have the friends they have always had, do things the way they've always done them, and do not think about including others. When you go out of your way to try to get friends together it is so diffiuclt and even if they say they will do it they beg off before it actually takes place.
I guess Texas is an animal all her own. Not very friendly. They are a bit arrogant and snobbish. Just my observation out of the past two years.

I don't think it's Texas in general, my opinion is that it's the personality of the city that can make it closed or open.
For instance, a city like Phoenix, which is growing by leaps and bounds is a very friendly city, in my experience. I think the reason for that is that there are so many other transplants, everyone is in the same boat. And, then a city like Battle Creek, Michigan, is not so friendly, mainly because most of the people who live there grew up there, and their circles of influence are firmly established.
That's what I love about Omaha, it's a growing city, and many of the people with whom I work and in the neighborhood in which I live are transplants, as well. But, even the Omahans who grew up here are very friendly.
