Freedom of Religion

My friend, Andrew, who has recently been appointed as a home cell leader in his church community, has invited me to attend a home cell meeting at his home this coming Friday. I am not surprised that Andrew is now a home cell leader because he has always been very committed to church work. At first, I thought that he would even enroll in a Theology course but Andrew said that it's not necessary for home cell leaders to have Theology Degrees.

In any case, I told Andrew that I don't have the time. In actual fact, I am not interested even when he told me that it's like a party with food, music and dance. Andrew knows that I am a Taoist and yet he keeps inviting me, I guess he feels that I need to be "saved." Even though I have rejected Andrew so many times, he continues to mention his home cell meetings each time we bump into each other.

Andrew also invited an elderly couple, who are my neighbors. This couple eventually embraced Christianity. It's fine with them since they were freethinkers. It’s good to see that they are a lot happier now, and more sociable with weekly outings with fellow church mates.
