I need the Body of Christ!

The purpose of this blog is to start a conversation regarding the churches in Brantford. It is not about bashing them and in fact, in that regard this blog will be moderated and offensive postings or comments will be deleted. There are simply a number of fairly mature Christians who are not fools and yet for one reason or another are without a church and cannot find one that works for them. In my case for example, my pastor died and the denomination chose to close the church. I know a number of others who are checking out local churches and some who said that they had to go out of town to find a church. Many of these people have been faithful supporters of local congregations for years. My own experience in Christ goes back almost 40 years and I've made some observations regarding the changes I've seen. Oddly the brothers and sisters who are seeking, are reticent to say why and yet by the very fact that they are looking, demonstrates that their previous fellowship let them down.
I guess what I hope to see here is a conversation among seekers not so much about what was wrong in their churches as much as what should be. If you are seeking then what is it that you are seeking?
