Baptist Minister Laments Catholic Converts
While researching "Ash Wednesday" and "Baptists" in Google's Blogsearch, we chanced upon an interesting story concerning a Baptist minister who had successfully enticed large numbers of Hispanic Catholics to join his church through a Spanish language Bible study program. Its seems the good Baptist minister now rues the sudden influx of Hispanics who were remaking his Baptist church in the Latin American Catholic style:
"He said they were coming in great numbers and changing his church. There was no talking to them. Hundreds of votive candles had started appearing in his church and then the worst of all, little statues in the windows. He would tell them that such things were superstitious and idolatrous. They would smile at him and say, “Yes, FATHER!” and go about their business as if he had said nothing."
According to the account, the minister stopped his Spanish Bible study.
