I will not be responding to any of the posts here except to say, I have yet to find the perfect…read morechurch or perfect community and since people are the church who are fallen and broken, I don't see it happening this side of eternity. With that said, it has been an incredible experience for my son who has been in community almost 5 years. He has grown in his love for Jesus, and those who are hurting in our community. He has mentored a number of young men from River City Correctional, and is pursuing solutions with those caught up in heroin addiction. He has also grown into a strong leader in his secular job, and regularly humbly serves his Mom and me. Also, I live in Madisonville and have hired them or worked with some of their church on local projects. I have felt nothing but kindness and Christ's love, and every home that is near them should be sending them presents every Christmas, because every time they buy and fix up a house the real estate value goes up in our neighborhood. They have purchased numerous crack houses that I would not approach in the middle of the day, and turned them into beautiful homes worthy of our community and the great city of Cincinnati. If I have a choice between Gladstone Community and drug dealers, I'm pretty sure I'll take Gladstone every time. Another thing I would say is that I have been a Christian leader for a long time, (34 years +) and I rarely come across a young and vibrant Christian who has all of his theology and philosophy fully formed, in fact many older Christians I meet if they are not serious about their faith have pretty rough theology as well. What I'm trying to say is I am certain that they have not done many things perfect, but in the six years I've known of them and their leaders, I see a constant maturing that is happening, as it should with all people who are growing in their faith and life experiences. You make mistakes and then if your mature you humble yourself apologize and fix them. If we have a no grace policy then why would anyone ever step foot in a Catholic church again? You can't get any more predatorial and manipulative than sexually abusing children. I was part of the early contemporary Christian worship music scene in the 80's, and there where whole denominations saying the music I played on Sunday mornings was from the devil, and those same denominations now have many of those songs in their songbooks. So, should I speak poorly of them at every turn or can I conclude that maybe they have grown in grace and theology/philosophy? Or now maybe we are both wrong and will find out later. I would say to any "haters" (discussion of ideas is another things that should always be welcomed) to be very very careful because of three things. 1. If, (and I understand you may not think this) this is a part of Christ's body, his church his bride. Then any anger spewed toward Gladstone is spewed toward his bride, and last I checked husbands don't like it when people go after their brides. Eph. 5, John 3, Rev. 21, John 14 etc. 2. Be careful for yourself that you deal with anger in your heart, because the only one who is going to be hurt by it is you, and Satan will have a field day with it in your life. If you've been hurt in a church setting by spiritual abuse, which I myself have experienced in some very conservative evangelical churches. Get some counseling, go back to the leadership and reconcile. Rom 12, Eccl. 7, Matthew 5, Col 3, Eph. 4 etc. It will totally set you free to move on in your walk with God. 3. Be careful that you are not judging another man's servant. I personally don't prefer a number of Christian movements, and individual churches in terms of me and my family going there, but I guarantee you I'm not going to shout out to the world how awful they are etc. Romans 14:3-5 Finally, I'll say to you and myself as I have in the past to some non -followers of Jesus who have argued "I can't be a part of Christianity or the church, there are just so many hypocrites!" Come on in!! We can always use one more, or as an elder of mine used to say, "if you find the perfect church please don't go to it because you'll ruin it :)

I had been to Old St. Mary's before to listen to a Catacoustic Concert and was mesmerized by how…read moregorgeous it was. So we added it to our monthly trek to try out a different church. Let's start with a little of it's rich history. This church is the oldest church in Cincinnati built in 1841 by German immigrants. Their 170-foot-high steeple is one of the oldest clock towers in the USA and was once used as a fire watchtower as well as by Union soldiers during the Civil War. The church bells were cast in 1843 by Levi Coffin, leader of the Underground Railroad. This church likes to hold onto tradition as they have mass in English, Latin and German depending on which service you decide to attend. The altar is still facing the back of the church and you go up to kneel on the long kneeling bench in the front of the church to take part in Communion. By looking at how beautiful the painting, ornamentation, pipe organ and stained glass, it is easy to see how well-maintained this place is. However, some things should be brought into the 21st century, specifically, their sound system! Honestly, I left feeling fairly empty as we couldn't hear most of what was being said. I checked with our friends we went with and they couldn't hear very well either. Some of the stained glass windows were able to open and were open. However, there must be a tree close by with numerous birds singing all through the hour. Nature is sweet, but in this case it was a distraction. So for the actual mass itself, it was disappointing, but I rated it so highly still because it is just that magnificent looking on the inside.

There are many aspects to LOVE, including patience and discipline. The message is given in a straightforward but gentle manner. Topics that can be sensitive, like money, divorce and being gay are all discussed openly, by adults with adults. These are real world issues and are discussed, not judged. I'm gay and I felt comfortable right away. In Adult Forum (Sunday School) I did talk about experiences as a gay person and others were receptive to hearing from me. If people disapproved, they didn't say anything to me. Due to health issues, I can't be in crowds now, but I can worship online. It's convenient but I miss the connection to the people.
