This Saint Sabina’s blurb sounds weird.<\/b><\/a>
\n St. Sabina is a Word-based, Bible teaching church that believes in the power of praise and worship. We are a spiritual hospital where all are welcome and invited to “taste and see the goodness of the Lord.” Our purpose is to nurture and develop spiritually mature Christians who are not confined by the walls of the sanctuary, but can penetrate the world in order to present God’s way of living as a divine option.<\/i>
\nDoesn’t that sound more like one of those mega-churches in the suburbs? If you belong to Life and Light Faith Bible Church, you kind of have to make a little paragraph explaining who you are and what you do (since there are no other Life and Light Faith Bible Churches around.)

The only place the pastor is referred to as “Father” Pfleger instead of “Pastor” Pfleger is on his biography page<\/a>. For that matter, I only found the word “Catholic” twice (once on the pastor’s bio page<\/a> and once on the parish history page<\/a>.
