The church we are currently attending is undergoing a civil war. The pastor of this church has been there about nine months. I don’t have all the gory details, but it seems the pastor got a little up tight and said something to which one of the senior members took offense. The pastor as attempted to apologize, but that apology has been refused.
A petition was circulated to call a meeting. The meeting is scheduled for Monday March 20th at 1900 hours. At that meeting, they will air their grievances and then take a vote on whether or not to evict the pastor.
As I non-member I cannot vote. I have been told, however, that I can speak. Everyone who wants to speak has three minutes. I intend to speak.
Although I feel like smacking these people up side the head, I will attempt to pour some oil on these troubled waters. Will I be successful? I don’t know. But I intend to give it my best shot. I have developed some modest oratory skills.
What really ticks me off is these people call themselves Christians. Christ gave the model of forgiveness and turning the other cheek. There seems little forgiveness in some of these members.
