<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I was

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Bill was
hauling out his well-worn slogan: you all are a political organization.
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">So during
the question and answer period, I got to ask a question of <st1:City

<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Bill, if
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Christ</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Church</st1:PlaceType> is a political organization with political
desires to take over <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>, why did one of our
own congregants who was on the City Council (John Guyer) resign and leave
to help start a church plant in another State?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">By your
logic, he had one of the most coveted political positions in all of
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>: a City
Council seat. Yet he walked away from it in order to plant a church
in another State. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Wouldn't
that tell you where our priorities actually lie: planting churches over
planting politicians. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">He hemmed
and hawed but gave no answer -- for there is no answer he could give
consistent with his framework. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">But the
question remains for all to see the truth of the matter.
