[Magdalen] Prayer List

[Marilyn Cepeda]

How does your church handle prayer list?  I just had a church call from a
professional person whose name appeared on our list without the person’s
knowledge or consent. The caller indicated that rumors were now all over
the city, and calls from all kinds of people checking on caller’s health
were coming in.

Rumors such as this can not only be a nuisance but they have potential to
impact business if
word spreads that caller is ill.

We are asking in writing, newsletter and bulletin, the no name be placed on
our prayer list without
that person’s knowledge AND consent.

Our caller was gracious but firm about the seriousness of his complaint.
The next person may not be.
I know people are well meaning, but good intentions can run amuck.
