So maybe you won't take it personally if I mention that your anger does seem a little bit excessive for the topic at hand?

So I feel that there might be some personal button that is being pushed. (but don't worry, I won't play armchair psychologist with you). However, it is obvious that you also have spiritual concerns as well.

Whereas, it is in my opinion appropriate for a community/organization to sometimes focus on on particular topic/role that does not effect everyone in said community. (i.e. I don't think you are right to ask that it not be done at all), however you maybe need to address the situation with your Pastor if you feel that the recognition to Mother's/Fathers to be surpassing the spiritual needs of the congregation to worship, hear the word, and have communal prayer.
Lol the only anger I had was due to people attacking me personally because I chose not to get up early, drive across town for a program not a church service

And

I did NOT ask that there be nothing at all for fathers. I said the exact opposite. I said have something but ALSO have an actual service and include others.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
