Observant, Josiah. I hang out with these people a good bit. They are
pretty generic, which infuriates many, but comes as quite a relief to
many more. I am comfortable with them, and so far they haven't run me
off. My personal beliefs are easily found at the second link of my
signature, so if it matters, you can take the time to examine things for
yourself.

In fairness, the ECC has the same black eyes in their history as any
other organization. Plenty of people don't like the network model Life
Church follows, but I find it innocuous.

BTW, last time I checked, they were looking to hire a Red Hat
technician.
