So What's the Story Here?

[Flyah]

Who is the Pastor? What is the gameplan? I really don't get why it's the second church - anything I can do to revive this flagging work?

It's the second church because the first Church got blown up by Hassan. I think blipaduza is still the pastor, but I don't know. Other than that, we should post whatever biblical things we have, prayer requests, or bible studies here.

Yay, lets have a church split!

Right. I am the original founder and pastor of the First Church Kappa. When I said what's going on, I meant that it seems the church is in shambles with no leadership. I'd be willing to take over again, but not sure if there's support for that or not. I'd definitely need a salary increase. Now that JF is COP, I suppose I could get it (?)

All right Top, let's start a second church...to be known as third church?

Umm...I think blipadouzi has done a great job. He's posted lots of devotionals and seems to take his leadership of this section seriously. Check out this threadfor reasons why he may not be around a lot at the moment.

And, Flyah, if you're wondering why no one seems to have posted here in the last few months, that's b/c for a while this board was down.

[Catspaw]

"In shambles" seems like a harsh term for a place that one has been absent from for a very, very long time. As Jonathan now mentioned, the board was unavailable for a while (darn you, Regis! ) but now it's back, and blipadouzi has been very faithful to the board during his time, though recently he hasn't been able to be here. The board is available for people to post prayer requests and stuff, just like it always has, except for the last little while.

I think I'm turning into Jessica here (:shock:) but I don't see the need for lots of really active, hands-on leadership of a message board "church"...which is a good thing, because it hasn't had much of that anyway!

[STRYPER]

I've always been concerned about the level of attention and work put into THIS church if it indeed draws away in any way from your own local church... the one with living breathing humans

A forum for prayer requests and going through biblical passages is fine but for this to be a fully functional church, there needs to be a few manditory things as laid out in scripture.

This is not a church.

It may be christian based and it may help christians with their walk in the lord but I sincerely hope that this forum hasn't confused anyone with scripture's commands about being part of a community of believers. As much fun as we have here and as close as we can get, we will never be close enough to actually be a church here.

[Lord_Kappa]

I agree with STRYPER, it isn't a Church, but a place for Christian discussion. We don't need to have someone direct anything, we need a moderator to sticky topics, delete topics, and generally run the place. And since it's a "church" we elected a "pastor" it's not supposed to be anything deeper. (I don't think. )

[STRYPER]

Good, that's all I was concerned about.

I would be hesitant to call it a "church" and the mod a "pastor" but that's a minor issue.
