Are you looking for a church that cares?

It's tempting to say nothing says caring like bulk mail, but bulk mail might be more caring than nothing. The question above was in a bulk mail flyer that arrived yesterday from Milwaukee's Southside Church of Christ, membership 235.

The religious world today is terribly divided. Small wonder that many are turned of by religion. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all were content to be just Christians?

That only addresses the division of the Christian world, not the religious world.

We are a congregation of undenominational disciples of Jesus that is striving to do just that. We seek to be "Christians only".

Not in the sense of mere Christianity; more like seeking to be "Protestants only". Even if the denomination "Church of Christ" is meant to be undenominational, the C of C web site's On-line Bibles aren't. My King James Bible, for example, is a facsimile 1611 edition with the Apocrypha; their on-line KJV is based on a later edition, after the Apocrypha were removed.

They do go on to say,

Some may inquire, "What are you after?" ... It's difficult to convince people that you are not after their money.

Funny they should mention that when I have the St. Al's building fund appeal and a Catholic Charities fund appeal sitting on my desk.
