Philip did spend four hours with the ‘Council of Elders’ of the African Inland Church during the first week of September. It was felt by the Reverend, Phillip should not be allowed to meet with the Babcock’s ever, at his home or if we taught a missionary discussion. It was explained by the Reverend that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is not a Christian church and does not honor the Savior; I just wish the Reverend would come to our church service on a Sunday to observe how much the gospel of Jesus Christ honors, worships, and sustains Jesus Christ as the Savior of this world, as the organizer of His church, and how the Savior's teachings blesses our meetings.
Philip simply shared with the council the literature we use as a follow-up of the missionary discussions we teach. The council spent time reading the pamplets and declared that the teachings were from a Christian centered church that taught about Christ’s life and teachings with great respect, honor, and truth. It was recognized and confirmed by the ‘Council of Elders’ of the AIC church that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is indeed a Christian church with good values. The Elders explained they had friends from various faiths as guests in their home. Philip was welcome to meet with us and share gospel discussion.
We only wish we had been invited to the 'Council of the AIC Elders' to share our testimonies!
