Chapter 1676 The leader goes out
Before Zhou Qingfeng was in training, a group of passionate missionaries of the Mormon Church were eager to go to Mexico to spread the glory of the Lord and save the ignorant lamb. But after Zhou Qingfeng's training,...
Originally, thousands of people signed up, but half of them were withdrawn the next day, and only one-quarter remained the next day. The number of people was getting smaller and smaller, and even the remaining missionaries became less confident.
This situation even spread throughout Salt Lake City. Whether ordinary believers or senior clergymen, they all fell into doubts about faith. It has been three years since the end of the world. Where is the Lord?
Adams could not stop this situation. He was almost angry with the Chinese version of the spiritual song made by Zhou Qingfeng, and now he has to face the ideological confusion caused by Zhou Qingfeng. For this leader who has been in trouble for many years, the situation in front of him is really embarrassing.
If we don’t occupy the cultural and ideological position, the enemy will occupy this sentence, not only does the rabbit who does not believe in God understand, but also does the people who engage in God.
Adams really regretted not bringing Zhou Qingfeng into the Mormon Church. He originally wanted to win over a mascot to get some benefits, but now he has not gained the benefits, but his foundation has been shaken. Everyone knows that Victor. Hugo is very troublesome, but he didn't expect him to be so troublesome.
"Uncle, why don't we expel Victor Hugo from the church. Otherwise, the church will be unable to manage it at all." One bishop suggested.
"Is it useful?" After Adams calmed down, he looked at the statue of Jesus in his own prayer room. "I just formally conferred him as a saint and asked the saint to be baptized by him. He has raised his reputation to the status of a senior clergy in the entire Brotherhood.
If we expelled him within a few days, do you think the believers have regained their faith in the Lord, or do we feel even more unbearable? If we really do this, Victor Hugo will not lose anything, our losses are unacceptable."
This is also true. The cannon he made was to be beaten with tears. It is easy to ask Zhou Qingfeng to come, but it is difficult to send him away. The "Free Trade" agreement has been signed. For no particular reason, other leaders within the Brotherhood of Steel would not allow the Mormon Church to mess with it.
Several bishops were also helpless. The ideas of the end of the world were chaotic, which was particularly suitable for religious development. However, most of the confusion were various extreme cults. The Mormon Church was at least a regular sect, but instead was affected.
"To solve this situation, the root cause is still in Victor Hugo." Adams's crown prince thought for a while and could only sigh and say this sentence.
Oh..., the bishops were quite surprised. Everyone was wondering how to eliminate the influence of Victor Hugo, but how could they listen to the leader's meaning of cooperating with him?
Some people think about it more deeply, and they will admire the far-reaching gaze of the Lord. They are thinking about it properly. The current doubts about the Lord have already arisen. Whether Victor and Hugo are the rest of things can no longer be avoided. What will happen if they cooperate with him?
"Victor Hugo is a smart man, and the situation he pointed out is also very realistic. We are indeed facing a very bad situation, and to overcome this difficult stage, reform is indeed needed." Adams's heart was in a heavy mood when he said this.
There have been many reforms in the thousands of years of development of Christianity, and a large number of sects are the result of various reforms.
There are many Catholicism, Orthodoxism, Protestantism, etc. Protestantism is divided into Martin Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Puritanism. The Mormon sect also appeared more than a hundred years ago, and it is still very young.
Religion is very resistant to reform. Every reform involves the interests of many people, causing severe pain and even tragic deaths. However, it is also very decisive to reform. If a person's thoughts need to be changed, it is easy to kill them directly.
"In the face of the end of the world, we really need reform. Otherwise, without Victor and Hugo, we will also go to the end." With the words of Adams, everyone felt much more relaxed. After all, the confusion about the Lord is hidden in everyone's hearts, even the bishop is no exception.
Reform is actually very simple. It is nothing more than revising the doctrine that cannot be self-consistent so that it can adapt to the new social situation and facilitate the deception of missions. For professional geniuses, as long as the doctrine is filled, they will naturally feel at ease.
"But if you want to reform, you still need to examine it." Adams said that he wanted to reform, but he didn't know how to reform it.
The superiors have been in the ivory tower for too long and have long since left the bottom of society. The missionary matter is actually aimed at the bottom of society. If you don’t know what the bottom of the society thinks, there is no way to start the reform. It is destined to be a castle in the air and destined to fail.
“We can do some social surveys.”
“We can organize some grassroots clergy to summarize information.”
“We can also mobilize the believers to talk about their own ideas.”
The bishops had the same old ideas. Adams shook his head and thought to himself: This is not reform, at most it is considered improvement. And what world is now? Catastrophe, the end of the world, the wasteland, and such social changes that are collapsed and broken, can you find out the situation by doing some social investigation? Just kidding!
Adams Mian had a record of the speeches Zhou Qingfeng had when he was training the missionaries. When he saw "Go to the fields, go to the factory community, and go to the family unit", this passage touched him deeply.
"I want to go and see it myself." said Mianxia.
Ah... The first thought of several bishops was to object. The head of Adams was the sign of the Mormon Church. No matter what, his personal influence was an important property of the church. But the old man was over 80 years old and his health was not very good.
Before the bishops could stop him, Adams continued, "I'm going to Mexico."
Mexico? This is even worse. Mexico is Victor Hugo's territory.
"I heard that fewer people are willing to preach in Mexico every day, which is terrible. We can be confused, ignorant, and doubtful, but if we don't even have the courage, what else can we do? We will be done soon."
Adams's words have seen through the root of the world. "I must set an example for the believers, so that they will not be afraid of seeing me, the old man. Look at me, the capital of the religion, and see that our devotion to the Lord has never changed. So I must stand up."
This word has a little self-sacrifice, and the purpose is to strengthen the cohesion of the church. This is to tell believers that we have problems, but we are solving them.
"But why do you want to go to Mexico?" asked a bishop.
Adams suddenly smiled sly, "I bet that Mexico's situation is simpler than North America, and the Aurora Legion's governance there is quite good. In our territory, just looking at the five branches and branches are not affiliated, you know that the problem is very big and troublesome.
I plan to leave this problem to Victor Hugo. I enthrone him as a saint, so he should at least make some efforts. The power of Protestantism in North America is very strong and not so easy to solve."
"But the North American Security Summit has ended and all agreements have been signed. Victor Hugo is about to return to Mexico." The bishops still didn't understand.
Adams said happily: "It doesn't matter. If someone wants him to stay, he will definitely not refuse. I only realized not long ago that no fearless hero has weaknesses. Hahaha..."
