I don't think that is it at all. In my experience, it is more a function of logistics. I have never seen a situation where an extra bible or two isn't availableif someone needs it. However, when you are meeting in the basement of the Boys and Girls Club, there isn't exactly a rack on the back of the metal folding chair in front of you in which to store a few bibles and hymnals.
Any Christian church that "doesn't want the Bible in church at all," isn't really a Christian curch. A church without the word of God is simply a meeting of good samaritans.
Back OT. No, I don't bring the Gideon Bible with me, though I do read it on occassion in my room. Strangely, it always makes me miss my wife. I'm not sure what the connection is.
