| Posted 5/28/2004 6:25 PM (GMT -6) |   | Hey so it's been quite a while since I've posted.
I am church planting with the Christian & Missionary Alliance in Sioux Falls, SD. I am also a student at our one and only seminary, North American Baptist Seminary (NABS).
To church plant I resigned from First Assembly after serving there for 71/2 years. We initially pursued this with the A/G but it seemed like the alliance was a better fit. (Um)
Just want to let you know there are those of us with OV "sympathies" in SD! I would love to find out if there are any others out here?
grace & peace,

Hi Shelby,
I'm not sure if Open Theists are as sparse there as they are here. I only know of one other here, and he is part of our church. Most have never heard of the open view, and I have found the best way to communicate it is by how I live. It comes across in subtle ways without having to put a name to it (usually). Even my husband does not embrace this view. When I first started exploring it he referred to it (and me) as "whacked." I can see where it can be easily misunderstand and maligned.
I'm not in SD but we "hail from" the Southern Baptist denomination and my husband attended a Southern Baptist Seminary here in Canada. We are now part of a pastoral team which is part of a non-denominational church (which I love).
My husband now tolerates my exploration of this view (with a nervous smile and some curiosity). He watches, and he has seen a difference in my life as a result of what I believe. I guess actions really do speak louder than words. I no longer get called "whacked."
I know I probably haven't answered your question, but I felt sorry for you (just kidding). Thought someone should reply 
God Bless,
Jo-Anne
