[CS-FSLUG] There is more to this than mere denominations

	I think as others have said, this depends on the type of 
non-denominationalism in question. I'm a member of a denomination but I 
am very non-sectarian and strongly dislike denominations battling turf 
wars between each other. Perhaps one can be a non-denominationalist, so 
to speak, and even be a member of a denomination?

	Well, I agree. However, I'd tend to think if such discussions are to 
happen, they will happen naturally rather than by saying they should 
happen. Posting a specific issue to discuss (and not just "the 
homosexuals are taking over" or some such :-)) probably would be a good 
way to start that.

	Just remember the "TD:" subject tag.
