I was living a lie as far as my doctrine was concerned Perry said his ministry was successful at Santa Ana The church grew rapidly in membership in the year he was there But the denomination which condemned movie going and jewelry also excommunicated any minister who indulged in homosexual acts His district leader didn't know how to respond when Perry told him about his feelings the young

of mysticism to institutional revolt Whether the trends bode well or ill for the traditional ecclesiastical organizations remains to be seen but as the decade opened evidence abounded of a growing if unconventional religious vigor Rather than assuming any clear-cut shape or system however it appears widely as a loose varied formless movement cutting across the standard patterns of operation It is provisional mobile questioning inventive heterogeneous open-ended Signs of the process show up in the mushrooming campus courses on religion the challenges to authorities including church establishments the spread of unofficial religiously mixed communes the churches groups coffee house ministries There also is the upsurge of mystical techniques Including glossolalia parapsychology yoga drugs and astrology the new' "swinging style" of worship the blurring of denominational lines both in concepts and in activity Among students as the institutional religious forms and practices

Average attendance has declined gradually for a decade and financial support and membership growth recently has sagged and in some cases reversed into a decline But in contrast to the organizational slumps and the sharp confrontations with denominational leaders at church conventions many disaffected believers have developed new ways of religious expression at the edge of the churches inside and outside Simultaneously the ecumenical movement for Christian unity long carried on chiefly by denominational officials has lost much of its leadership to a kind of reliel ecumenism among grass-roots laymen conferences set terpretations of the past have been wrong or too literal Leviticus it says if a man lies with a man both should be stoned" he said in the same book in the Bible it says wrong
