Personally, democracy for me, is ...Good question. <br /><br />Personally, democracy for me, is not a major consideration when it comes to the church. First consideration whether any direction (or the status quo) has strong biblical principles.<br /><br />I regard consensus as important in terms of timing and methodology once biblical principles are established and agreed upon.<br /><br />So for example, for me, if the majority of the members in my church are for keeping the status quo, not wanting to evangelize as they do not want strangers coming to "their church" and stuff like that, I would work hard to convince them otherwise. (Thankfully this is not a problem! :-)) It may be the democratic wish of the majority but it is certainly not the wish of the head of the Church, Jesus Christ. :-)Paul Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090793506050422565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968035721619750891.post-73811864961875421932010-01-20T17:49:48.267+13:002010-01-20T17:49:48.267+13:00hmm, i wonder what this says about democracy and c...hmm, i wonder what this says about democracy and consensus . . . . .zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161277108772213817noreply@blogger.com
