		<description><![CDATA[It is important that we make a clear distinction between the True Church (the Ecclesia) and the Institutional Church, Organized Religion, or religion in general. The easiest way to begin is to discuss one critical thing that Organized Religion cannot do. Organized Religion cannot impart Life. &#8220;This is our testimony, that God has given us [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kennypittman.org&amp;blog=2387472&amp;post=4694&amp;subd=kpittman&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, maybe we don’t have all the answers. What if someone steps outside the well worn paths? What if we stop assuming that the Sunday gathering should be the pre-eminent experience of the Christian life? Suddenly a lot of other answers that were taken for granted are less than obvious.

John Campbell says, &#8220;many have indicated that one of the greatest barriers to belief in God is the Church itself.&#8221; If the problem is the system, then even our best solution is part of the problem.
