Ropes

Ropes are convenient to segregate man from man. In the Holocaust, people on the other side went on to embrace death.

Ropes enable those in power to keep the weeds out. Weeds are the unwanted.

When a VVIP or a VIP breezes through the roads Ropes are in place to keep the traffic off so that they could have the city to themselves. 

The people wait and wait. They suffer without respite. 

The rulers have to rule.

Ropes are in meetings to restrain those who take the trouble to attend them.

Ropes are an integral componet of Christ Church

 I don't know if it's true. 

I heard yesterday that the Christ Church Committee that met on Wednesday last had decided to do away with the ropes for good.

What I learn is, when there were strong arguments for and against the ropes, the Senior Pastor was vociferous the ropes had to go.

Rope is still there. We managed to squeeze in as it was open when we came. A moment later it was in place routing people away, even away from Church.

 This is not my domain. Nor am I the right person to express an opinion.

Just a narration.

The English Worship began at 7.15 am sharp. The church was overflowing.

The Asst. Vicar began the sermon at 7.45am. It was quite good. Well researched. He concluded at 8am. 

The Vicar was conducting the worship from that point. He went on and on with intercessory prayer. Not from the book of worship. Finally the worship concluded at 9.15am. 

By then the attendees for Malayalam  Worship started arriving. There was confusion. However we managed the exit from the Campus with little difficulty.

What I learn is that in the last committee meeting the members had suggested  that English Worship had to be concluded invariably at 9am. 

However the Vicar had opined that the worship needed 2hours.

Well it took two hours. 

It doesn't matter even if it takes three hours. But there is a schedule to keep for Malayalam Worship  as well.
