I too grew up in the Campbell tradition, Church of Christ, non-instrumental. I attended Harding University and preached 10 years, 1975-85. Today I work in a business office. I hold to God in all things and all things in God, and that Christ is the anointing we all experience when we understand we are God's children; as Jesus did. But I can certainly understand what you mean when you say you love the tradition, but it drives you crazy. I no longer attend a Church of Christ; but there is a part of me that misses it; simply because its part of my childhood. I believe if I walked into a Church of Christ today I would feel like I was 12 years old again. But I have learned that most who left the church of their youth feel the same way. Its part of us, but no longer rules us. Forgive me for being so lengthy, but you know how we can be. God Bless. John Madison Mr. Gilmour:
