I heard that we can't do a community based Christmas show as the participants were a bit unwilling. While I don't know the exact responses or phraseology, it went something like... The Catholics said no as it is a Protestant-sponsored enterprise. The Methodists said not if it's the Presbyterians. The UB church said our people can participate but we won't support it. The CMA church said if all the other churches agree to do so, we will too.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever..." Whoever? Not Protestant or Catholic. Whoever? Not Presbyterian, Methodist, or Anglican. Whoever? Not CMA, UB, or Wesleyan. Whoever? Not male or female. Whoever? Not rich or poor. Whoever? Not white, black, or yellow. Whoever...
But I'm wondering when we get to the pearly gates, are we going to say, "Sure, I'll stay, but only in the Presbyterian section".
Very sad....
