Lois, I disagree with you. The CofC does not "try to be all things to all people." My take is that the CofC has a definite personality that it chooses to show only to its favored few. That is the reality. To every other group in the world, it pretends to be what that group is looking for in order to exploit that group's manpower, financial resources, and reputation.

That is why my former spiritual counselor said that no one should publicize the fact that one is "looking for a spouse." If one does, some member of the opposite sex who needs something that one has will make him or herself appear to be a reasonable example of what one is looking for -- long enough to get what he or she wants.

The NCC has been fooled. And the CofC got what it wanted. Of course, some of its leaders may have pretended to be fooled so as to save face later.

And of course, I read the letter to the editor in the "Herald" in which a former LDS wrote that her family found the CofC a "breath of fresh air, after the authoritarian" oppression "of the LDS Church." I thought to myself, "Little does she know...."
