Would you go to a Roman Catholic church or Jehovah's Witness congregation if you lived in a town with no evangelical presence? That is the kind of situation to which my question was directed. Perhaps I misunderstood what Grymir meant; his statement seemed overly general to me. | No, I would not go to a Romanist or Jehovah's Witness place of "worship." Forgive my misunderstanding, I thought you may have been referring to the vast amount of evangelical churches out there.
