I guess I have a few concerns about this whole . Â I mean, beyond the potential misuse of millions of dollars in endowment
money…
What is clear here is that the church leadership is trying to blend two things that I feel are not good to blend. Â 1) the scriptural challenge to help one another out – this one I like; and then 2) the cultural value of keeping others away from us – this one I don’t. 🙂
It would seem that the church is so comfortable maintaining distance between the leadership and the members that they don’t see the disconnect. Â So you get “Please help out by sending over meals – but give them to the limo drivers, please don’t come by our home.”
Am I the only one who is bothered by this?

1This church has been working down this path for quite a while. It’s rather surprising it took this long for someone to realize there were problems and blow a whistle on the whole mess.
It’s really amazing how they were so blinded during the whole process and workings. Also, I think it’s pretty obvious they didn’t have many guest speakers. I think David Platt would have a field day talking to that audience about global mission…!
