A CHURCH has suspended its reverend 15 months after he defied orders to close a homeless shelter.
The reverend Hedley Fihaki from the Cairns Emmanuel Uniting Church was on Sunday suspended for three months.
But
members from his congregation called the suspension a “bully move” by
the Brisbane head office who disciplined him for challenging directives
and helping the homeless by delaying the eviction.
In December
2009, the church was told to eject the homeless from the Good Samaritan
Ministry Centre in Gatton St due to fire safety and building compliance
concerns.
Just weeks before Christmas the 26 people staying at the shelter faced being left with nowhere to go.
Dr
Fihaki defied the deadlines for eviction until new accommodation was
found at a Sheridan St motel and a promise made for negotiations to
reopen the facility.
But the old shelter remains vacant and now the minister of more than five years is being punished for his stand.
In
a letter by the reverend Bruce Johnson, the moderator of the Queensland
synod, read out on Sunday, the congregation was told there were
“serious concerns” at Dr Fihaki’s actions and he had breached code of
ethics and failed to fulfil part of his sworn ministerial duties.
He was suspended for three months with pay and has to work with a mentor before he can return.
The move has “disgusted” his loyal congregation of about 120 many of whom were in tears on Sunday, Graham Horton said.
“He’s done nothing ethically wrong,” Mr Horton said.
“But because he didn’t follow directions he has been slapped with the ban.”
Brian Stevenson said Dr Fihaki had acted with compassion, understanding and kindness.
“I don’t think the same could be said of the church authorities in this case.”
He could not understand why it took 15 months to suspend him and said the wait would have been punishment enough.
His wife Carol Stevenson said the congregation backed Dr Fihaki who followed “God’s law, not man’s law” during the crisis.
“It was a congregation decision
– so should we all be suspended?” Mrs Stevenson said.
“In my opinion they were being bullies to suspend him. It was a bully move.”
The Good Samaritan program continues to operate in Sheridan St.

Ne iku fo'i ai pee a Porter o tuku atu e charity ko 'eni.

Ko e fakaoli ko ene kau faiako mo ene kau counselors ko e kau volunteer ta'eprofessionally trained mei he ngaahi univesitii etc. They are just local people who were willing to help. Kaikehe ne step in e pule'angaa mo e kau palofesinalee o feinga kuo pau ke hire e Silbert ha kau certified counselors, professional psychologists and psychiatrists etc mo e ngaahi policy kehe. Me'amalie ne tau'i e Silbert ene totonu pea oku kei lele pee senitaa ko enii.

In our search for perfection, we create a greater evil. That's when the church leaders become another powerful bureaucratic government-like body.

Dear Sisters and Brothers, A just-released study predicts that religion is headed for near extinction in nine nations. While there are several commentators who say that a mathematical study cannot predict human behavior, this news does give us an opportunity to discuss the future of Christianity in general and the future of your own congregation in particular, and seek some biblical perspective on the concern. So that will be the topic for this Sunday
May God bless you this week.
Rev David Ofahengaue
TEHACHAPI VALLEY UMC SUNDAY ADULT BIBLE STUDY April 3, 2011
In the News
Religion is on its way to extinction in Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland. That's the conclusion of a just-released study by researchers from Northwest University and the University of Arizona.
The study, reported at the American Physical Society meeting in Dallas, Texas, is based on mathematical analysis of census data reaching as far back as a century. In those nine countries, the census queried religious affiliation. Using an analysis technique called nonlinear dynamics and a model of human interaction that posits that social groups that have more members are more attractive to join, the researchers concluded that religion was on the way out in the nine countries studied.
Dr. Richard Wiener, one of the researchers, explained, "In a large number of modern secular democracies, there's been a trend that folk are identifying themselves as non-affiliated with religion; in the Netherlands the number was 40 percent, and the highest we saw was in the Czech Republic, where the number was 60 percent." The idea is that as the non-affiliated group grows, it becomes the more attractive group for others to join for social and utilitarian reasons.
Even with the presentation of the findings, however, Wiener said the research team recognized that the network structure used for the study is not fully representative of the one at work in the world. "Obviously we don't really believe this is the network structure of a modern society, where each person is influenced equally by all the other people in society," he said.
Nonetheless, Wiener indicated that the study is at least "suggestive" of the conclusion about religion's extinction. (The study seems to define "religion" as "affiliation with a religious organization" rather than religious belief.)
While this study is new and applies to religions of all stripes, previous research has concluded that young adults are leaving the church today at a higher rate than in previous years. A 2009 study from the American Religious Identification Survey found that the percentage of Americans claiming "no religion" almost doubled in about two decades, climbing from 8.1 percent in 1990 to 15 percent in 2008.
Some observers point out that Christianity's appeal has always gone through cycles of decline and revival. And others argue that models based on statistical probabilities are not nearly as reliable when applied to human systems where conditions cannot be controlled.
Still others mention that while Christianity may be declining in some parts of the world, it is experiencing great growth in places like Africa and Asia.
Yet for many of us, Christianity's vigor elsewhere in the world is not a comfort if our own congregation is in decline or if our loved ones raised in the church have chosen to leave it.
More on this story can be found at these links:
Religion May Become Extinct in Nine Nations, Study Says. BBC A Mathematical Model of Social Group Competition with Application to the Growth of Religious Non-Affiliation. Cornell University Library (the study can be downloaded from this site) The Leavers: Young Doubters Exit the Church. Christianity Today Mathematical Models Cannot Predict the Extinction of Religion. EChurch Blog Reliability of Studies and the End of Religion. Christopher's Apologies
The Big Questions
1. Whether or not you place confidence in statistical studies, is it wise to dismiss them out of hand? Why or why not? State in one sentence what you think the study demonstrates.
2. What does your own experience of Christianity in the United States lead you to conclude about its future here? What does your own experience of Christianity's acceptance or rejection among members of your extended family lead you to conclude about its future here? How does that affect your feelings about your faith?
3. What are the main reasons that many of today's young adults decide religion is not for them? What are the reasons that some young adults remain within religion or embrace it for the first time?
4. How does the church address the concerns of people who won't even engage in conversations about faith?
5. To be non-affiliated with religion does not necessarily mean that a person does not believe in God or in Christ. But can Christianity survive without communal religious practice? Why or why not?
Confronting the News with Scripture Here are some Bible verses to guide your discussion:
In ancient Israel, God told the people to love him with all their heart, soul and might. And more, they were to teach their children the same command, and even talk about it in, and beyond, the home.
None of this, of course, guaranteed that their children would grow up to value and follow the command, and very likely, some of them did not.
Questions: What is the best way to live/model the Deuteronomy text consistent with the treadmill many families find themselves running on? Would even texting and sharing a daily Scripture verse/lesson be an improvement? When we've done our best to present our Christian faith to members of the next generation, and some do not stay with it, how should we feel? What should we do? Luke 18:8
The context of this verse tells of Jesus' parable of the widow and the unjust judge. The widow had a legitimate legal claim of some sort, but the judge, perhaps waiting for a bribe, wouldn't schedule a hearing for her. She only got her day in court by continually pestering the judge. He finally heard her case only because, as he said to himself, "so that she may not wear me out by continually coming."
At the end of the parable, Jesus points out that God will grant justice to those who cry out to him "day and night." He then makes the comment above, about finding faith on earth. The point is that by her persistence, the widow became a model of faithfulness on earth, like those who persist in prayer. Jesus' question is a rhetorical one, asking whether when he returns, he will find much faith as strong as hers.
Questions: What trends or forces seem to work against faith on earth? How can we counter them? Can transforming faith be in short supply even in churches that are well attended?
Luke 24:11
In context, these words describe the reaction of the apostles on Easter morning to the news from the women who'd gone to Jesus' tomb that the tomb was open and that two angels had told them that he'd risen. But detached from their context, they might also describe the reaction of some to the Christian message today.
Question: What causes some people who've grown up with the Christian story to eventually regard it as an idle tale?
Acts 17:22
In Athens, Paul addressed some of the leading thinkers of his time. They weren't Christians, but neither were they nonreligious, as Paul notes in the words above. So even though not many in that public place were persuaded by Paul's Christian message, they nonetheless were sympathetic to the idea of religion in general. Paul was able to use their religious bent as an opening to present his message (see v. 23).
Today, Christian witnesses often find themselves speaking to people who are at least skeptical about religion, and often even convinced that religion has no value at all.
Question: Many people today who reject religion are not ignorant about it; some understand it quite well, but have decided that it is not for them. Do we do any good by trying to persuade them otherwise?
In the letter-writing conventions of Paul's day, it was customary to include words of thanksgiving, and Paul did so in most of his letters to churches that we have in the New Testament. In each case, Paul does not address his thanks directly to the letter recipients, but to God for the faith of the recipients. It might seem like an odd practice to us until we remember that we live in an age when faith is not a given. In our workplace, school or the world in general, we are often among people who may not have faith.
Questions: What blessings come your way because you are part of a community of faith? Are there blessings you experience that you do not observe in others? And vice versa?
2 Kings 19:30-31 "The surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward; for from Jerusalem a remnant shall go out, and from Mount Zion a band of survivors. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this." (For context, read 19:14-34.) Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever." (For context, read 40:6-11.)
An important consideration in any discussion of the extinction of Christianity is the biblical theme that God will always preserve a remnant. (In addition to the verses from 2 Kings above, see also Genesis 45:7; Ezra 9:8, 13; Isaiah 10:20-22; Jeremiah 23:3; Micah 5:7-8.) The remnant idea is that sometimes the chaff needs to be burned off so that the remnant is purified and able to carry on where the larger body could not. That remnant may not be statistically significant but it is significant in terms of the vitality of the church.
Another important consideration is the biblical promise that God's word will stand forever. (In addition to the verse above from Isaiah, see also Mark 13:31.) This indicates that though everything else may pass away, God's word is eternal.
Questions: Mark Twain, reported to have died before he actually did so, commented, "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Might that also be true about this pronouncement of the extinction of religion? Why? What assurance (or challenge) does the eternal quality of God's word present regarding the dwindling numbers who take traditional faith seriously?
For Further Discussion
1. Respond to this: Bob Dylan memorably sang "You gotta serve somebody; it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord ..." In other words, we all have a religion, whether it's a recognized faith community or not. Dictionary.com, for instance, defines "religion" broadly enough to encompass people's ultimate beliefs about the origin, meaning and purpose of life. Some people's religion, then, is (essentially) capitalism, or some other non-deity-focused belief system. Thus the suggestion that religion becomes extinct is assuming a narrower definition of "religion" than is warranted.
2. Respond to this, from a TWW team member: "The survival of the church (of which I remain confident) does not necessitate the survival of the expressions of church life that have characterized religious practice for the last many hundreds of years. This is a time of enormous upheaval. I think we're entering a time when all these places and practices associated with Christianity (and other faiths) are in flux. What 'church' will look like over the next 50 years will be very different -- not so much the organs and cathedrals and potlucks and third-grade Bibles that we have known. But the church will remain; worship will continue; faith will be handed on in important ways.
3. Writing in Christianity Today, Drew Dyck said, "Christians often have one of two opposite and equally harmful reactions when they talk with someone who has left the faith: They go on the offensive, delivering a homespun, judgmental sermon, or they freeze in a defensive crouch and fail to engage at all." What is the alternative?
4. What convinces you that you belong in the Christian faith? What is a good way to share that testimony with those who've left the faith? What is a good way to share it with those who've never been part of the faith community?
5. What do you make of the argument that social groups that have more members are more attractive to join?
6. What political or social involvements of Christians have led some observers to think less of Christianity, rather than more? What actions of Christians have given our faith a bad name?
Closing Prayer
O God, thank you for the salvation and new life that comes by faith. Help us to know how to think about and respond to news about changing perspectives on religion in our world today. Make us faithful and warm in sharing our faith at appropriate times. In Jesus' name. Amen. |

Dear Sisters and Brothers,
A just-released study predicts that religion is headed for near extinction in nine nations. While there are several commentators who say that a mathematical study cannot predict human behavior, this news does give us an opportunity to discuss the future of Christianity in general and the future of your own congregation in particular, and seek some biblical perspective on the concern. So that will be the topic for this Sunday
May God bless you this week.
