...of course we have our own associational minister's comference so we don't have to deal with all this messiness about who's in and who's out. My local association's minister's conference is almost exclusively attended by old retired dudes the active younger ministers apparently having to work for a living and not having time for coffee, yackety-yack, then lunch which kills half a day every Monday.

Interesting Sandy! Obviously your mileage did vary.

Some denomintions have doctrinal reasons for not participating in any kind of ecumenical group, like the Missouri Synod Lutherans. I don't agree with their reasoning but it is their choice. When I think it is kind of sad is when you are in a small town and one of the major churches won't participate in the community.

In a city the size of Sioux City (and our metro area) I've been surprised to find out that we don't have any ministerial association of any kind. I've thought of trying to start something. But I've not got around to it yet.
