On the same topic, if you really want to know how liberal/conservative a district is, go to a Wal-Mart or a mall and look at our women. There is a jean skirt-Tennis shoe ratio formula that exists, use that, and then you will know how liberal a district is. By my count, due to a recent trip to the Regent Mall, conservatisim is still pretty strong in our area!!!
Tennis shoes in 18 inches of slush and snow? How long exactly have you been OUT of California again?
Monkeydude, it is a seasonal thing. In the summer, recount after the galoshes and overcoats are packed away!

Me thinks this was an awful big generalization since not all pastors in every district(including the AD) see eye to eye on certain things.
ME thinks I'm tired of all this.. since I was only giving my opinion. I still think our district is more liberal than some.. or moderate.. whatever you'd like to call it. I just know it's changed.

Here is another test for you, try this. Go to Harvey Camp, take your choir, sing, "Silver & Gold" by Kirk Franklin and let me know how that goes for ya! Go to Family Camp and try to lead song service with a song from last, say, 20 years that isn't country in flavor, have at it...you WON'T be asked back, Heeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Obviously I am having some fun with this, that is my nature. I also use different criteria to state whether someone is liberal/mod/con...using my logic (scary) I would say the AD is pretty Moderate.
Your logic is very logical in the most logical sense of the word.
Funny though how some think we are liberal,while others feel like we are conservative.
I was to a certain place once in the States where I was forewarned not to preach the "clothesline" as the AD preachers had a name for being "clothesline" preachers.

Well Ido agree with you it has changed but so has NB living in general.
