I am not a lib as Bishop but I am not an uc.
I have changed my view over the years to where I am not as conservative as I was. I am a middle of the road guy. I guess in traveling the nation preaching and fellowshipping with various people that I have come to realize that people who are all the time "harping" on standards are not actually getting people to fall in love with Jesus as much as they are a set of guidelines.
I am in love with Jesus. I have not changed how I live near as much as how I view the approach to it. I think that if we will preach Jesus and get people to develop a relationship with Jesus then alot of the other things take care of themselves. My wife don't wear make up, cut her hair or wear pants. My wife don't even wear splits. We do wear wedding rings and all my dress shirt are french cuff which means I wear cuff links a lot. Most of my shirts are not white. I think I own 2 white shirts. There was a time that none of that applied to me. I was living rules to fit in with a crowd. Now the things I live are totally because I love Jesus not because it is the rule of a certain crowd.
I know that to actually call all UC "control freaks" is a broad brush. I am not positive that as to who you may be. You may not be on of the "control freaks".
Maybe I should revise my statement and say that for some I have met, the term "control freak" does fit, but for others I can honestly say that it don't.
