"Worship is the missing jewel in modern evangelicalism. We are organized; we work; we have our agendas. We have almost everything, but there's one thing that churches, even the gospel churches, do not have: that is the ability to worship. We are not cultivating the art of worship. It's the one shining gem that is lost to the modern church, and I believe that we ought to search for this until we find it." -- "Worshp: The Missing Jewel," A.W. Tozer

Good morning, Pat.
I'm afraid your co-worker is mistaken. My church, Green Meadow United Methodist Church (www.themeadow.org), is actually located in Alcoa, Tennessee.
The reference I was making to "The Purple Church" is actually from a sermon delivered by Dr. Leonard Sweet, who does not currently serve any church that I'm aware of. The sermon spoke of the need for Christians to not be "Red," which is a reference to states who go Republican in presidential campaigns, nor "Blue," states who go Democratic in presidential campaigns. So, it is not a reference to a particular church, but a call to co-exist and become "The Purple Church." (After all, purple is made from mixing red and blue.)
I normally do not publish anonymous comments, but I wanted you to receive an answer.
Grace, peace and the love of Jesus Christ ...
