“leading someone to Christ” at work

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

I am on the fringes of my local baptist church - I used to regularly attend and gradually tailed away as various things in my life took over...

I’m still a member of the church closed Facebook group.

Today there is a church member who works in Elderly residential care rejoicing at “leading to Christ” one of her elderly residents...

I’m really sorry but I really think that isn’t on..! I work in a school but I’d be in serious trouble if I started “leading pupils to Christ” and “saying the sinners prayer” with them....

Everyone in the church is replying along the lines of “How wonderful that Jesus used you to save a soul” or “you have been wonderful used by God...”

Whereas i’m thinking “What on Earth, what if your boss found out, or the Health Board.... that is completely inappropriate”....

To be honest my highly scientific and atheist dad enjoyed chatting to the vicar in his long stays in hospital (he was terminal for about 14 months).

Vicars are generally rather good at bedside manner and often quite educated women and men. They used to talk about science, maths, art and occasionally debate theology. Never tried to blackmail him into coming over to the other side.

@LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD that sounds brilliant. A perfectly sensible way to minister to the sick.

I think it's completely wrong but I imagine it's seen as a positive thing as bringing people to god is part of the Christian religion.

Did u report her?
