Organization
Maybe try Summa Theologica style to questions.
Is It Permissible To Wear Surgical Masks During Church
During covid, many people started wearing masks in church, and many governments require it. Is this permissible? Or is it like a man wearing a hat in church?
How Should Pastors Dress?
Too many pastors-- even good guys-- dress and act like beta males. When an alpha male confesses publicly to God that he's a miserable worm, it's awesome. When a hipster with a neat beard and carefully casual clothes does it, we just think, "Of course".
Should we pray holding up our hands?
During songs, should everyone clap, or nobody clap?
Should musicians be in the front of the congregation, or behind
Should we stand for the Scripture readings?
*For Old Testament?
- For Gospel?
- For Epistle?
Should the Members Be Notified if the Building Is Being Sold?
"Fellowship Church Surprises Miami Congregation with News Church Has Been Sold," Roys Report (2021).
Can You Walk In Late?
It's a matter of etiquette, not doctrine. If people are praying, either silently, as a group, or the leader praying, it is disrespectful to walk around, blow your nose, slap your naughty child, etc. If you come in and suddenly notice a prayer is in progress, halt and wait for it to end, then keep walking.
On the other hand, if a hymn is being sung, or, in my opinion, liturgy is being read, or during the sermon, it's fine to quietly walk in late.
