Phil,
I need friendship, or perhaps a better word along the same theme 
would be acceptance, but I also need truth.  I don't want a watered 
down gospel or misleading feel-goodism, if there is such a word.  I 
need truth because that is what sets me free, but I will receive the 
truth best when it is delivered, in love, through an accepting 
congregation rather than a harsh community of judgmental, critical, 
self righteous members.  So, I just can't think of a word that 
encompasses  both of these concepts, thus I have to stick to my guns 
and say, two words, "Friendship," and "Truth."  GRIN!  I guess I get 
an F for following directions.  Sorry.  GRIN!
Kathy
