Taking a stand
Local preachers continue fight

As a Miami expat who moved ironically north into the Bible Belt of South Carolina, I freely confess and admit that I have, at times, had some narrow-minded views of the religious community in which I found myself living.
I grew up attending First Baptist Church of Miami Shores, part of the Southern Baptist convention for the decades I was a member there, but my experience in church there was vastly different from my experiences in Pickens County as I searched for a church I could call home.
