Re: Native Americans
I am sure there would be native Americans who would see things different, but you know as well as I that its hard to get every one to agree on simple things, let alone on the tough stuff like how USA and its founding fathers treated Natives. I see the Christian churches doing good for the community locally. Many of them have formed a group, Allied Churches of Alamance county. They run a homeless shelter/ soup kitchen, donate to loaves and fishes food bank, provide drivers for meals on wheels,and probably many more. These programs don't care who you are, they are available to anyone who needs them. Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given.

Lets define Fundy churches
This may be a dumb question but, what churches are considered fundamentalist? In my area there are lot of baptist, southern baptist, presbyterian, pentecostal. I have seen where some cite all of these as being fundamentalist?? I am hoping someone can better define this then I have been able to so far.

I guess I am missing something, are all protestant churches fundamentalist?? I am not trying to be a smartass, I just want to know, maybe there is a better link or source of info that can enlighten me. Maybe someone can just tell me?? Thanks

Fundamentalism is more of a personal belief than a denominational belief. Most would say that Lutherans are much less fundamentalist than Nazarenes, but you could find non-fundamentalists and fundamentalists in each congregation. Christian Fundamentalism is a non-denominational movement. Thanks, This is also what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. I cant say for certain,but it seems that fundamental Christianity is a fairly modern term, 20th century. This being said, then some of the things that have been attributed to Fundy's isn't so. Is this a flawed line of thought?? I do see christian protestant churches in my area doing many good things, I cant say if any of them consider themselves fundamentalist, and it doesn't support the topic either way I don't think. Thanks for helping me clear up my lack of understanding.

Ask Buzsaw. I am sure he will respond.

Re: Lets define Fundy churches
Thanks Buzz, Your view on what a fundamentalist is might be important to someone other than myself also. Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given.
