  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A protester was arrested at a Texas megachurch after he created what officials said was a “disturbance” on church property.

The incident occurred during Sunday services at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, about 20 minutes west of Dallas and involved “an individual disrupting the environment by causing a disturbance with video equipment and signage,” Fellowship Pastor Dave Clark told The Christian Post on Wednesday.

Police responded and issued a warning, but when the man — later identified as filmmaker Nathan Apffel — failed to comply, officers arrested him, according to Clark.

I read that he was asking how much the pastor makes and how much his housing allowance is and noticed he is a film maker so I looked him up. He has some renown and has won some awards.

His latest project is "The Religion Business" a 7 part documentary due out either later this year or early next I think.
He seems to be going after the mega churches, their pastors and the big denomination offices.

Hopefully as he's making this he remembers there is can be a world of difference between churches. Fellowship is a huge and rich baptist church with an apparently very well paid pastor. In the little baptist church I attend, our current pastor started for free because funds were so sparse and we are currently trying to figure out how to raise enough $ to fix the air conditioning.

For every rich mega-church there are 100's if not 1000's of little churches just getting by.
