I am doing a little digging around. So far I don't think that these congregations have any websites. The c-not-of-c would not want them put on public display.

In the meantime, here is a question.

Does anyone suppose that these "conservative" congregations will be allowed to have delegates at the following conference in which the question of homosexuality in the USA church will be considered?

If they are truly conservative my guess will be no. Probably each mission center selects delegates. That how it worked when we still had stakes and districts. Everyone knows where a particular person stands on the issues. The pro-homosexual crowd will make sure that no one is elected who might cross them. That is what gerrymandering is all about and why in the 80's the Blue Springs Stake was disorganized by the leadership in the first place.

Whatever the true doctrinal status of these four congregations, the fact still remains that they sit surrounded by Sodom and Egypt.

"The delegate conference, July 18�22, 2012, in Independence, Missouri, will determine the level of support for

1.) Extending the sacrament of marriage to persons of the same sex/gender OR providing a church-recognized way for two persons of the same sex/gender to publicly express their commitment to each other.

2.) Allowing people in committed, monogamous, long-term, same sex/gender relationships (legal marriage, civil union, church-recognized commitment) to be considered for ordination.

The delegates� common consent will determine if present policies will remain in place or new policies will need to be written and implemented.

These are difficult issues......"
