原定週四下午假香港教會更新運動教牧中心舉辦之「《基督日報》困惑與澄清」交流會，《基督日報》對本報表示將不會出席。《基督日報》表示，收到邀請時交流會的多項細節均未擬定，故他們從無正式回覆出席。他們現決定於稍後自辦交流會，歡迎各界人士出席及提問，詳情稍後公佈。

地點：「教新」教牧中心
主持：胡志偉牧師
分享：楊子聰（香港新興教派研究中心主任）
名額：40人

YAMAYA謊言再批判
YAMAYA謊言再批判：日本救世軍Makoto Yamaya少校向「基督日報」發出的回應
日本救世軍Makoto Yamaya少校向「基督日報」發出的回應無必要單獨辦交流會
既然《基督日報》不派員出席，根本不應再辦這個「交流會」，胡牧師想借「新興教派研究中心」宣判「基督日報」為異端嗎？根本就多此一舉。
為何不能協商，兩方面，在一個中立的場地上，舉行交流會呢？
正如我在「基督日報帶來的困惑」的回應貼所講，《基督日報》找來王永信牧師的勉勵，難道胡牧師還堅持己見嗎？
A Return to Matthew 18 !!
In Matthew 18, Jesus lays down the paramount principles for conciliation.
Step 1: one to one; face to face, to point out differences. (vs 15)
Step 2: Same, but in the presence of 1-3 (or more) witnesses. Purpose is to verify and attest to the truth of the statements made. (vs 16)
Step 3: Bring issue to the whole church. (vs 17) This of course does not mean a broadcast to the world-wide church. Discretion and decency are needed. Finally,
Step 4: If the ‘sinner’ will not listen to the whole church, he(she) is then to be treated as a pagan or a tax collector. Meaning: to be dis-avowed and/or shunned (?). (vs 17)
In reviewing the entire episode surrounding Rev. Woo’s ‘open inquiry’ into Gospel Herald (GH), and since he is a well-respected and knowledgeable church leader, I have to assume that steps 1-2 had been followed and exhausted.
If not, Jesus’ paramount principles for conciliation HAS NOT BEEN followed. And we all should have reasons to be concerned and alarmed.
All the respected, experienced and wise church leaders on Gospel Herald’s Board of Advisors also should have reasons to be alarmed.
I, therefore, plea for a temporary ‘moratorium’ (to cease all actions and accusations) and a swift return to Matthew 18, less we become AGAIN the laughing stock for non-believers, and bring shame to Jesus’ name.
一點愚見
其實。。。
其實胡牧是不是想在那個聚會審判基督日報呢﹖人家看見新興教派研究中心﹐都有理由擔心那個聚會會變成異端裁判而不是交流﹐畢竟聚會是在你地頭而不是 netrual ground 舉行。到聚會變成異端裁判﹐他們就會孤身作戰﹐基督教可以依多為勝。
胡牧何不現在表明立場呢﹖
Wait for Gospel Herald
I am pleased to learn that there will be an open session to clarify issues surrounding Gospel Herald (GH). Unfortunately, the invitation is a bit rushed. I hope we will all accept GH's "regrets" in good faith.
At this moment it is important for both parties to sit down face to face to sincerely dialog, and to clarify any potential misunderstanding. I therefore urge that we wait until GH is ready and available to tell its stories.
I am afraid a one-sided open session, with no representation from GH, will only further open the "split."
There are Biblical principles regarding the settling of conflicts among Christians, including doctrinal conflicts. It is critical that we proceed slowly, sincerely and humbly.
The final goal is to resolve differences and to reach a mutual understanding of each other's positions.
