Open season: Surviving church conferences

Here is a recommended summer reading list: Robert’s Rules of Disorder, Extreme Boxing, No-Rules Gladiatorial Games, Cockfighting, The Laws of Rugby Football, Professional Wrestling: Anything Goes, and Taking My Bat and Ball and Going Home. That is the recommended list—if you are participating in, attending, reading about or hoping to survive church conventions. When the people who show they are Christians by their love gather to attend to business and wage war, it helps to be aware of how other extreme sports operate.
