[Serious] What would you want in a church

RE: What would you want in a church

I wasn't asking to change anything or argue dogma, just a thought exercise on what you'd want / don't want in a church. It's pretty obvious you don't want sexism in a church that'll be the only one I can really take from you since you don't want to extrapolate or allow me to read in between the lines of your statements.

1. don't want sexism
2. don't force people to be there
3. clearly defined dogmas so no fine print - is one you didn't say but strongly implied

Thanks for the input.

My dude...Allow ME to clarify MY position.

 It's not a matter of "not wanting" sexism in the church. Railing against sexism in the church is essentially a fool's errand, as the church is only acting as the Bible commands. Any woman who takes issue with it need only know that the church is simply following orders.

I know better than to propose "no sexism", because I recognize that there is no Christian church---as in one that ADHERES to alleged Word of Biblical God, without sexism. The heart of the issue lies in the Word itself, not within the church body. 

Allowing women an equal voice and authority over men in the church would indeed be sacrilege in it's open defiance of men's God-given spiritual authority over weaker vessels and blatant disrespect for God's order, in accordance to the Good Book. That's why I stated that there is nothing that I could suggest that wouldn't be decidedly anti-Biblical, rendering it a moot point.

Lol....You were asking what we'd want/not want in a CHRISTIAN church, were you not?
 
I mean, if you're vetting ideas for some New Age, watered-down, offshoot of Christianity/Christian church that embraces Hippie Jesus and tosses everything else aside then just say so. 
I've got plenty of ideas.
