Unite or divide further?
Recently I read in the GM news about the desire of IPC leaders to help UK based Indian churches. I am responding to that news.
I am a member of the Indian Pentecostal Church in India. By the grace of God, and as directed by the Lord, for the past five years, I have been leading a financially self supporting Indian Christian Congregation in England, which is for administrative purpose affiliated to an English congregation. This English church does not interfere in our freedom of worship; they only help us with their prayer support, buildings, resources etc totally free of charge. I found the English churches in this country to be very supportive to our work in England. They welcome us wholeheartedly to their church and are willing to give us every spiritual support. Though the English church is willing to help us financially, we have not claimed any money till date, as we, by the Grace of God are able to support ourselves.
When English missionaries came to India, they had to learn our regional languages, translate the Bible and overcome so many other hurdles to start their work. But the strengths of most Malayalees in this country are that we are able to speak English and we are not bad with our scriptural knowledge. When the English missionaries came to India, their vision was not to start English speakers' churches in India, but was to preach to the Indians, win the Indian souls and plant churches for the Indians. Otherwise we are better resourced to be missionaries in England than the English missionaries who came to India several years ago. But one thing we lack is the vision to merge with the English believers and tender our help to their spiritual needs.
Although many of us remain 'holy' by keeping some distance from the English churches, at least some of us are successful in presenting our needs to them and accepting financial aid. When we claim to be spiritually superior and remain 'separated' from them, we are becoming 'spiritual racists'. We conveniently forget the fact that we have been called to proclaim the gospel in and to this land. Our spiritual standard can be easily measured by our success in implementing Kerala church politics in England and the rate at which we get ourselves divided.
I only see with fear and trembling, the desire of the IPC leaders to get the Malayalam churches in England affiliated to IPC. I hope that the IPC leaders and IPC supporters will understand that many believers of other Pentecostals denominations will not be very comfortable to come under the banner of IPC. Such believers will be tempted to make their own little groups. I will rather encourage the Malayalam churches to remain affiliated to their nearest local English Pentecostal churches and support them and receive support (not financial) whenever and wherever necessary. The English missionaries contributed a lot to the Indians in the past and it is time for us to do something in return.
It is not true if we think that Church of God in India and Assembly of God are not keen on or interested in bringing churches under their leadership. I personally know that just like IPC, both these churches are interested in adding more churches to them. It is true that the English churches are not giving administrative support to Indian churches. The simple reason is that we don't ask them or allow them to do it. It is not true that the financial and spiritual problems in Indian churches are not resolved because the English churches are not taking interest in us. Many of us think that we are 'spiritually superior' to them. Also I do not understand why our churches have financial problems. Most of our pastors are part time employed and they do not take money from the church fund. Do you think that if the churches come under IPC, the financial and spiritual problems will be solved?
Division, unforgiveness, misunderstanding, gossips, destructive criticisms, lack of humility or pride, unwillingness to accept one another, lust for leadership, lust for church money etc. etc. are the problems many Indian churches in England are currently facing. Don't we have enough trouble already? We are already divided into AICC, MPA etc. etc. etc. Can IPC, Church of God, Assembly of God or any other established Pentecostal Indian church organisations solve these problems? Will IPC unite these groups or divide further?
