Here's a church that needs an Intentional Interim pastor!
Scores Hurt in Church Brawl
NAIROBI (Reuters)
Scores of worshippers were hurt in a brawl over church leadership during Sunday prayers at a Kenyan Church, local papers reported.
The Kenya Times said it took the intervention of police to stop part of the congregation from strangling a pastor appointed to take control of the running of the Buru Buru Church of God in the capital Nairobi.
"For over four hours, the congregation booed, insulted and heckled Reverend James Omumia," the newspaper said.
"Scores of faithful...were left seriously injured when a free-for-all fist fight erupted."
The People newspaper said members of the congregation also turned their backs on the pulpit when Omumia attempted to continue with his service."
The church has been divided into rival congregations by a dispute over its management after church elders dismissed some leaders on charges of financial irregularity.

The crowd is not always right!
Upon Griswold asking the congregation whether it was "your will that we ordain Gene a bishop," the release said the response was loud and clear. "That is our will," congregants shouted, according to the Episcopal Church release.
Matthew 27:17 - 22 As the crowds gathered before Pilate's house that morning, he asked them, "Which one do you want me to release to you – Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?" 18 (He knew very well that the Jewish leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy.) 19 Just then, as Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: "Leave that innocent man alone, because I had a terrible nightmare about him last night." 20 Meanwhile, the leading priests and other leaders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death. 21 So when the governor asked again, "Which of these two do you want me to release to you?" the crowd shouted back their reply: "Barabbas!" ¶ 4:20 PM 0 comments

Man, 91, dies waiting for will of God
TUPELO — Walter Houston, described by family members as a devoted Christian, died Monday after waiting 70 years for God to give him clear direction about what to do with his life.
"He hung around the house and prayed a lot, but just never got that confirmation," his wife Ruby said. "Sometimes he thought he heard God's voice, but then he wouldn't be sure, and he'd start the process all over again."
Houston, she says, never really figured out what his life was about, but felt content to pray continuously about what he might do for the Lord. Whenever he was about to take action, he would pull back "because he didn't want to disappoint God or go against him in any way," Ruby says. "He was very sensitive to always remain in God's will. That was primary to him."
