The Phillie Easter Convention In Pictures




Make no mistake about what you are seeing in the two pictures above. They are not Lost and Found items. They are wares of some members? or people who came to the Easter Convention. Apart from picture-taking which gave some photographers/camera men thousands of dollars, owners of these items also made a lot of bucks at the convention.

There were two or three background screens mounted outside the main convention hall for picture-taking! Should these be allowed to go on unregulated at our conventions at the expense of the message of salvation, restoration and healing?

Or since some members may still want some pictures to remember their days at such gatherings, should the church be thinking about a more organized way of taking pictures with a percentage of the amount realized by the photographers coming to the church after such gatherings?


What do you think? You may post or blog your comments here.
