There was a recent quote by a politician to the effect that caring for the well being of others as Christ said we should isn't Christian because you don't get salvation that way.

Kathy, every time I see your moniker, I am tempted to ask if I could come visit you. I love the Wallowas and used to plan my road trips across the continent just so I could go through there on my way back and forth. Not sure moving back is doable right now, though I yearn to. However... my granddaughter gave me a lottery ticket today, just for fun: so now I can fantasize for a day or so about moving back west. This time dreaming of those gorgeous mountains.

Straight out of the CN belief system! That is why knowing their point of view is helpful in understanding their stance
I've read wayyyyy more about the Reformation that the average non follower of Heather Cox Richardson. (It's fun to read comments here.)
I wish I still lived in WA state
