Churches

I put together a list of churches useful for scholars travelling around to conferences or on sabbatical. Those with stars (*) I've been to and liked. I've heard good things about the others. Those with pound signs (#) are the kind of churches that have special appeal to people with PhDs-- that is, they are "head oriented" with high-IQ staff who are used to dealing with educated urbanite unbelievers. All these churches have traditional Christian beliefs. They differ in worship style (drums or not, praise songs or old hymns, etc.) except for all being sermon-and-song centered.
