| It is called money management. Skipping the trappings and high paid speakers and getting business done for the church. I live under a rock so I would not know for sure, but I have my doubts you would hear anyone fuss if it was free or $20 a head to the ordained Bishops and everything free at night. If I remember right that was close to the cost when I attended. I never heard anyone gripe. Of course I hung around with the 'good' COG preachers. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| I was more leaning to money management of the TOT etc that the local churches have already paid. Not that the event should pay for itself. JMO Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| Do they really charge to attend? I am dumbfounded. What is next, Jewish style dues to be a member?I'm not familiar with COG assemblies, but are they open for regular members or ordained ministers only? In the COGOP (at least 30 years ago), anyone could attend and vote (if a member). Do they charge now also?Financially, I can understand, though I would have thought free will offerings could have handled it, but morally, particularly if regular members can attend, it doesn't seem right that a family of 4 could pay $500 just for required admission costs. That just blows my mind.Fortunately, it doesn't affect me, but I am just astounded. Do Churches charge a fee to attend? I realize legalistic views on tithing essentially amounts to a fee to be a member, but a fee to attend a Church business event just blows my mind. Maybe the COG Assembly is different, but the COGOP assembly was far more than just business decisions, but involved a lot of inspiring messages, etc. A fee for a religious service? What is next? Fees for prayer? How far is this from the Catholic methods? The COG has managed to move to a Catholic style charge for candles in barely 100 years? I assume it took much longer than that for the Catholics to institute charges. |
