I used the word "parishioners" as synonymous with "congregation". I don't know if independent churches might use the word "parishioner" as a vestige of the past before they broke off from whatever mainstream church they were originally from. Kong Hee was an Anglican before he started his new-fangled church. He would have been familiar with "parishes" and "parishioners". For all we know, he might have adopted the same term. It's not just the RCC that has parishes. But I get your point. Terminology is important. I'm careful not to call the ministers of some churches priests. For reasons I can't understand, some people are actually upset by that.TLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777216835117522284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40250219062002506.post-14442045589598335682014-02-04T06:55:33.391+08:002014-02-04T06:55:33.391+08:00Independent churches do not have parishes unlike t...Independent churches do not have parishes unlike the RCC. Therefore, Kong Hee cannot have parishioners, just attendees.

It was...Hi Jack, I have read the Gospel of Thomas. It was Elaine Pagels' book on the gospel that got me interested. But the book is not meaningful to me since it does not come within what I've experienced from my childhood. It's no different from the Buddhist sutras. Religion is extremely cultural and anything that is not in line with what I was familiar with as a child, I can't consider it my religion. Non-canonical works and books of other religions are under the same category for me. I'm not saying they are wrong. They just aren't a part of my religious culture. The canonical books of the Bible are only meaningful to me not because they are true but because I was familiar with them as a child and they have formed a part of my religious culture. If I have to weigh everything for its truth, I'd probably have become an atheist. ;)TLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777216835117522284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40250219062002506.post-21299032457506010002012-07-02T09:41:01.656+08:002012-07-02T09:41:01.656+08:00Apostle Thomas

I have friends who are responsible and considerate people and they don't believe in God. In Europe, many people have lost their faith in a supernatural being but they continue to be more civic-minded and honest than most Asians who believe in the supernatural. How important can a belief in God be? I can think of one. To provide us with solace and comfort when we suffer bereavement. But that's about all there is to the importance of "finding" God. Don't you agree?TLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777216835117522284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40250219062002506.post-5486151984439570922012-07-01T03:50:58.766+08:002012-07-01T03:50:58.766+08:00It is extremly important for one to believe and se...It is extremly important for one to believe and search for God but it is not really necessary to belong to a church,temple or mosque.<br />God exists deep inside your heart and you also believe in him,it is very important for one to discover him.jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739671137603049253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40250219062002506.post-26518159333042467182012-06-30T21:03:19.910+08:002012-06-30T21:03:19.910+08:00Thanks!!!Thanks!!!TLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777216835117522284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40250219062002506.post-20979148719933969222012-06-29T22:59:39.929+08:002012-06-29T22:59:39.929+08:00Very good point - very good post!Very good point - very good post!Limpeh Foreign Talenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608910232359247437noreply@blogger.com
