What's the equivalent of Partisan when we speak of fealty to a particular dehomiation: denominasan? In any event, I will speak for my experience in the Methodist Church. I grew up a Methodist, and I have to say that I have seldom witnessed a "holier than thou" attitude among members. As a matter of fact, each week we join in a confession of our shortcomings. What I have seen is plenty of warmth and acceptance of one whose attendance is sporadic, of different races, of different economic backgrounds, and of different faith backgrounds. I have seen a youth group whose annual trip is a service project somewhere. Whatever hypocracy I have seen is individual. I can acknowledge my own and guess about others'.
Regards,
