Can anyone reccomend a good climber friendly church relatively close to the gunks?

You'll find a list here. Does the denomination mean little or nothing to you, just climber friendliness?

Thanks for the list, but I was kinda looking for a personal reccomendation. I am not hung up on denomination so much as I am about being climber friendly. I am not going to be wearing a suit and tie.

Best option

seriously...

what exactly is a "climber friendly church"?

Does "climber friendly" mean "you don't actually have to go"?

Because, honestly, the very last place I'm going to be on a beautiful Sunday morning, is a church, regardless of how I'm dressed.

My guess, Mr. C4C, is that your question is best asked within your own "climbing for christ" organization.

what? dont be ridiculous. god cant hear you if youre not wearing a tie!

If you need to leave a natural church like the Gunks on a nice Sunday morning to go to inside to an indoctrination meeting,um,brainwashing session, uh, church, and you don't even care if it's your particular brand of propaganda, it seems your faith is pretty damned weak.

Wow, thanks for your help! I never asked you to go with me.(although you are welcome to) I never said that I would't be in the outdoor sanctuary at trapps on Sunday too but I do like to worship with others in a church building occasionally as well. A climber friendly church IMO is one that welcomes anyone off the street to worship with them regardless. I guess that is too much to ask in such a "progressive" town as New Paltz.

C4C, do you expect to be expelled from a church for failing to follow a dress code? If so, try them all until you find one that doesn't expel you -- simple as that.
