Toleration

I once wrote up a list of things which were tolerated or accepted under my ministries, with endorsement of the Church. The purpose was the advancement of the gospel. Here are some things we decided deliberately to allow (there were more besides):
• Minor property damage
• People wearing drag
• Communist party T-shirts
• People ululating
• Children walking in the aisles
• Breast feeding in the pews
• Poor English
OBSERVATION: The last refers to spiritual input in the Church, say a prayer or testimony. Ululating was a close call. One reason for that was its religious origins. There were just a few things we decided not to tolerate, such as drunkenness.
