COGIC Coming Back



I commented in the Commercial Appeal on the COGIC leaving Memphis and I received what I thought was a rhetorical response from one of it's members. It sounded like it was a statement prepared by Bishop Blake's office. I didn't respond in the newspaper because I didn't want to sound like a COGIC hater who wants them to leave, but I do have some definite opinions about them leaving for my readers. I think it shows a lack of commitment on their part to abandon their so called headquarters. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/nov/07/editorials-cogics-move-strictly-business/
I made the comment a couple of days ago and now I feel even more convinced of what I said then.


How cam you be headquartered in a city over a century(102 yrs.) and not have any roots? Not only should it be an inconvenience but costly. Unless you are just a visitor. In a couple of years it will be like the COGCI were never here. There is not one building in this city (not including churches) that they have built. With all the redevelopment that is and has gone on in this city. Being such a large and influential group with such a large economic impact annually Why weren't they included in the planning? They always kept their bags packed. Bishop Blake is doing all he can to keep the doors open. If I were a betting man I would bet the COGIC will be back.
