Actually, I have spent many full and consecutive years here.

No, I am referring to natives.

Many of the churches here have fewer than ten cars parked outside on  
Sunday morning. Some have only four or five. This is a result of horse  
transportation days and, I humbly offer, those who have a close  
reading of the bible and are intolerant of other readings.

Those who use church fully: for personal, social, and business  
reasons, tend to belong to the larger churches of various denomination.
