Thanks, Doc. I must lead a cloistered life, for this is the first time I've heard of a membership committee in an SBC church. I suppose there are two things every church needs these days. More committees to gum up the works and confound things sufficiently so that congregants can bask in endless disputes. And a generous supply of pettifogging lawyers to tell the church what it can and cannot do. What a golden age we live in! How comforting! --Hank | ||||||
