George,

They have one webpage entitled Child Protection
http://www.cofchrist.org/legal/ChildProtection/default.asp

I wouldn't trust them with my children or grandchildren. Since the whole thrust of the c-not-of-c has become the GLBT agenda how could anyone trust their children with them?

Orlando Community of Christ News, May 2004, Issue 6, page 1
�Listening Circles Introduced to the Congregation

On Sunday, May 16th, Pastor Andrea Henson, co-facilitated by Pat McKay, introduced the concept of Listening Circles to the congregation.

The World Church has requested that we form these circles in our congregation (6-10 people each) for the purpose of listening to each other in a safe, non threatening environment. Listening Circles are a tool that can be used to discuss any difficult issue. The World Church has requested that the issue of homosexuality in the Community of Christ be our first focus.�
