Roy T. Williams (1883-1946) was an evangelist and General Superintendent of the Nazarene Church. He once said that the only way to
avoid having any problems in a church was this: “Don't take in any new
members and chloroform the ones you already have. Every person is a
potential problem.”
Forgive me, I found this humorous ;-)
I know lots of churches that have been successful in not taking in any new members, but I had never thought about chloroform for the ones I have...
ReplyDeleteJust kidding Tarrant you're wonderful! (But if you see me with a wet cloth you might want to keep your distance...) ;-)
