I asked a Church secretary once to make an appointment with a member -- their place or my vestry, as they preferred. Our secretary made the appointment, but felt she should only mention the vestry. She knew my programme, and thought that she would be doing me a favour. Neither of us knew it, but our member was very sick. When she arrived, she was too weak to get up my vestry steps. Our secretary and I took hold of her and helped her up. I said: “How can you come out when you’re as sick as this?” She said: “When your pastor calls for you, you don’t say no.”
