I often feel like I’m presiding over one big kindergarten class, the way My children interact with one another. People dutifully pray that I’ll increase the size of their congregation. But when I do, newcomers find that the church is already divided up into its little play groups and they’re not really all that welcome.
Thankfully this has not been my experience but woe betide the body of Christ that does not welcome the stranger! We should be seeing Him in all peoples....Patricia thank you for highlighting this shameful behaviour - may we all be cautioned by it....
