Decade back,for some misunderstood between grandparents they got divorced .With their divorced, both of them was no longer counted as the church members as per the church custom .Though grandfathers name was re-entered after few months/ years as church member ,the church body didnt accept grandmother though she asked for forgiveness.For more than six years , grandmother continued her Christian life without her name in the church .She involves herself in church activities like every other christians but she was not accepted inspited of her continues asked for forgiveness and a request to accept her as a member of the church again.According to our custom,one has to stand in the church congregation and ask for forgiveness for going against the church ,in order to enroll ones name in the church again.Many time she asked for forgiveness but she was ignored ,she continued her christian life without her name in the church for more than six years . Few years back , she got an old age illed ,she was almost dying , all that she worried was her name not been enrolled as the church member,will she be forgive from above for going against the church ? Even after six years of seeking for forgiveness ,the church body failed to forgive her .She asked for forgiveness on her sick bed but the church body remain deaf to her voice still , she was almost dying but they remain deaf,her faith in the church was somehow shaken since its already six years .I THOUGHT CHRISTIANITY WAS FREE WILL AND THE CHURCH IS A PLACE TO FORGIVE YOUR MISTAKES .By GODs mercy ,Grandma got recovered from her sick , she was forgiven and her name was re-entered in as the church member after six years .Thanks to the church leaders for God had answered our prayers through you ,Prayed that the church leaders had forgiven and re-entered her name in as church members in good intension and will .Today both of them are doing good by God grace . In our society,illiterate people are ignored ,status in the society determines ones intellectual level,lots of man-made boundaries and people are afraid to go against the regular trends of the society ,respect and dignity are more important so high profile person finds hard to humble down to low profile .A man who learned all the wise words are wiseman . we cant determine someones faith , for some the church may mean so much , having ones name in the church may mean alot.Many /Almost /All/ Everyone RESPECT CHURCH ,though they might have been disappointed by some of the Church leaders in one way or the other.Please dont mix the decisions of the church body with ones personal matters ,interest and society compulsions .The CHURCH mean so much for SOME though how much corrupts some church leaders may be .People always expect good things from church body ,dont let ones personal issues over rule and give the wrong picture of the Church body . Never want to expose this story but today i feel i should as anonymous so that it wont target or harm anyone and no one will be hurts.Dont let your personal issues ,interests and compulsion of the society change the way the Church functions.
