I don't expect that at all. Kind of a shame.

Yeah, its like any organization. You put NASA together to get to the moon, you get there but now you've got a bureacracy to run and you don't want to put a bunch of nice folks out of work.

As a Catholic and a sometime cynic I can watch the company men, church/state combiners and the prosteletyzers with pretty dark humor. I know my church was (and many in it still are) awful that way, but groups broke away to protest and helped reform things. Now the descendents of some of those break away groups are busy losing the message in the name of promoting their true way. Speaking of charlatins, Billy Grahams kid is coming to town... as my Jewish/Irish Catholic roomate used to say oy ve Maria

psst... the message is love your neighbor as yourself

gee whiz that doesn't sound exclusive to Christians at all does it?
