So Dale Gillis (Christianity vs. Rapturism, March 3) has concluded that since some so-called "Rapturists" are reading "The Secrets of Enoch" (which almost no one considers authoritative), all belief in the Rapture is bogus.

She and husband Peter fulfilled their long-held dream of having a different kind of church when they opened the Coffee Spot in December 2006. They envisioned working with other churches in providing safe, informal settings for teens and adults, both believers and nonbelievers. ...more
