The pastor wrote “We will delete the children parts of it and try to find a few other adult opportunities. He doesn’t seem quite as flexible as I thought and hoped he might be.”
Please note
I counted 7 opportunities to speak to adults in church services (table talk is a church service conducted at coffee tables in the church over a meal with opportunity for folks to discuss the evangelistic message). or small groups... or special men’s functions (BBQ’s and breakfasts).
There were 2 preaching opportunities on Sunday the 23rd, and 4 preaching opportunities on the 29th and 30th.
There were a further 5 opportunities to speak to children and youth. these were cancelled when he protested against children and youth being included in evangelistic activities.
He stated in an email “I am just fine with speaking to the men's group at [the church] on Wednesday. I am, however, NOT prepared to speak to school groups or Kids Club's. This is not my area of ministry. My ministry has always been "preaching/teaching" expository messages to a congregation or group of adults. “
