Re: A Wrecked Church!
Why is daughter even running the church? Family runned businesses is not a church model.

Looks to me as if she had a plan all along........... but then that's just MY observation.
The thing I don't understand is how in the world this thing could happen to begin with. I was never involved at the Board level in the Apostolic churches I went to (not even sure if all of them had a board. and those that did were all male.) But I've been on the Board at both the Methodist Church where we attended for 23 years and now at the Alliance Church (where we've been for the past 8 years or so). In both cases, one of the safeguards we had in place is an annual audit of the church finances done by someone from OUTSIDE of the church. Do Apostolic churches not do audits???

house. HE saved Noah's familiy, and started over!

That would not be apple to apples. There was no one else to choose. Today there is more than just family.

Re: A Wrecked Church!
ILG, do you think outside help should have been brought in? Like an accountant to go over the books?

Hmm...I guess at the time, we expected the district board would have been the appropriate people to look things over so we did not call in an accountant. Maybe that would have been a good idea.
What it ended up being was lawyers looking it over.

Re: A Wrecked Church!
When I hear stories like this "wrecked church", I just have no idea what to think either pro or con.

Re: A Wrecked Church!
I know what to think. I know that I do not ever want to be caught in church split situations like this ever again. Been there and done that before.
Most church splits are over mammon and power.
