Bible Question:
Dear Saints of the forum, Just curious, but for those among you that are committed members of a local church: How many other churches have you visited in say, the last 5 years? Of those, how many were of different denominations? Someone is going to ask, "Why do you ask?" I'll tell you after I get some answers! :-) In Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: Charis, When I was younger, especially in college, I visited more Churches usually with friends who were members at their invitation. The only time recently was last December. I belong to a men's singing club. We meet weekly for practices and go to nursing and retirement homes twice a month to entertain the residents. Our group is not offically affiliated with any church or parish. Most members happen to be Catholics, but we do have some members who are not. In December one of the members extended an invitation from his church for us to sing a selection of Christmas songs, which we did at a Sunday service attended by almost every member of the group. Our part was incorporated into the regular service. It was a Disciples of Christ church.It is interesting to note that we have declined similar invitations from some of our own Catholic parishes because we were organized to sing at nursing homes not churches. But in this particular case we did not wish to offend those inviting us or embarrass our member by declining the invitation. Emmaus |
