Information is passed on among the members, sure, but it is usually meant to help either the person talked about or to help another better understand the reason why something happened. I haven't seen much of the oh-you-have-to-hear-this kind of talk around these people.<br /><br />Can you imagine being in a congregation where the pastor could tell a parishioner that they were violating commandment eight with gossip, and it would be taken well? I bet that could happen here. It is a weird congregation.<br /><br />I think the behavior we are seeing comes from a people willing to be catechised, and then an excellent shepherd doing his job. It is great that Gary will be able to officially be part of this shepherding!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814948071708500747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-7033288898154107442012-02-17T21:38:59.442-06:002012-02-17T21:38:59.442-06:00Love this post.Love this post.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817680463922038375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-74541369459310798372012-02-17T15:15:54.549-06:002012-02-17T15:15:54.549-06:00Susan, you are right!
