I Not Stupid
I had thought the struggle was over.
And then it came back again.
It's the problem about worship again. The confusion for last Sunday's worship was not changed for the better after my email to the shepherds. The same person who walked out of our meeting over the worship issue has decided (again) to take matters to his own hands and re-schedule our practices for the Christmas musical.
It's not that I do not want to let him do it, or that I am not listening to him. It's just that things do not work this way. We cannot just change things like that. There are reasons why some things are done in such ways and I do think he has seen things from his own perspective and not from our view.
My heart sank once again. I dunno why am I given this tough task to tackle Christians who have very strong views of what they believe is right, or standard, or must be done, and not be understanding.
I really don't know how to reply to him.

As for this Sunday onwards, I don't agree with you that you should use worship time for the choir practice. We are sending a wrong signal to children that worship time is not important and is not a priority. What you should do is do cut down the time for sunday school lesson and use part of it for choir practice. Worship time should remain as usual.
I will stop lesson on this Sunday at 9.45am and you can use the time from 9.45am to 10.15am for practice. Worship will start as usual at 10.15am."
-------------------------------------------
As if I dunno that worship is important. I am not stupid, I am not dumb. I don't know why sometimes people like to think that I am. Or perceive that I am. I really resent that.
There are many reasons why we did what we have been doing. It's not my own decision, but the decision of the musical committee.
I don't care liao. I am going to reply to him and cc: to everyone in the committee. And then, let Pastor go handle him. Afterall, next year I won't be around. I really don't want to spend my time on tweaking legalism. Or the right method.
Just sheer waste of time.
