Mike - I knew I shouldn't have suggested the perfection of the church, as I knew there would be misunderstanding. My comment was that is is perfect in its imperfections. It is hard for me to adequately explain what I meant but recognizing that it certainly does have imperfections, and certainly not all is well in Zion, what I meant to get across is that the church can function in everyone's life to the magnified degree that everyone is willing to pour effort into it. It is there to help anyone become a spiritual giant if that person is willing to allow that to happen. I am not suggesting that administrative changes could not be made, etc.

Do you think other churches can help people become spiritual giants? If not, why?
