Evidently, so long as you believe passing out condoms at services of worship at a UCC is a good idea, I suspect you would be most welcome.

It depends on the UCC congregation.  We are a 'free' church denomination, so any answer will have to depend on the congregation you attend; have you spoken with a particular congregation's pastor?

It means that I consider my money to belong to God and I see myself as one of the hungry people who needs to get fed with God’s money. If I really have put all my trust in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord, then nothing I have is really my own anymore."

Speaking with the pastor would be a good thing; ignoring trolls, too, is also a good thing.  :)

So, Jupiter, now that the troll has departed, how is it going with your visit to a local UCC congo?  :)
