And along with the new Kip letter... some more NYC / Powell drama. Mid-Manhattan midweek service on July 22 should be verrrry interesting. If you're in the city, check it out (especially if you find the need to scream & yell).

Personally, I think these people who still believe the church can "change" for some reason should go watch Gandhi. Grow a backbone ... don't acknowledge their authority anymore! That is far more effective than "pleading for SP's resignation."

A CALL TO ARMS
On Tuesday July 22nd,at the Manhattan midweek service, Sam and the other elders and evangelists will finalize the splitting of Manhattan that was started by Sheridan Wright. He will discredit and disband the transition teams and the congregation will be forced to choose 'in or out'. We want to keep our region together and continue fighting for repentance in our church. We are pleading for all of the Christians in the NY area to come and help us fight the tyranny and together call, plead, scream for Sam Powell's resignation. The location of the midweek service is 96th Street and Central Park West and the service will be Tuesday July 22nd at 7pm.

'Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!' Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
