Ed: Never heard of it. However, not all small town churches are the same. Shoot when Trudy pastored a two church parish that met in one community one month and the other in alternating months. The service where different even though both groups attended at which ever was hosting that month. They had separate budgets Treasurers, Deacons and Trustees and organist.
We have three churches in this village, Baptist, Episcopal and United Methodist, within a 2mile there is both Catholic and Lutheran churches with in 3 miles there are two Presbyterian groups, two more Baptist churches, one Conservative and the second is Reformed, and A Mormon Congregation.
