We had a lively discussion in church on Sunday 3 June 2007 in Madurai.
The questions discussed were:
- Can we advise our members who have gone to distant places, to attend other churches rather than managing without such a facility?
- Is it good to advise those living in far away cites to attend other churches? By ‘other churches’ we mean churches that are carefully chosen by knowledgeable EBA members.
- Is it safe to leave such a decision to younger members?
- Is this not like a ‘child being tied to the mother’s apron strings? After all, what will the church do if the pastor is not there?
