Experience: Dealing Faithfully With an Interested Minister—Sabbath morning, when the church at _____ celebrated the ordinances, Brother _____ was present. He was invited to unite in the ordinance of feet washing, but said he preferred to witness it. He asked if participation in this ordinance was required before one could partake of communion, and was assured by our brethren that it was not obligatory, and that he would be welcome to the table of the Lord. This Sabbath was a most precious day to his soul; he said that he had never had a happier day in his life. {Ev 276.3}

Erfaring: Drøfte det grundigt med en interesseret præst. - Sabbats formiddag, da menigheden i ___ fejrede forordningerne, var bror ____ til stede. Han blev inviteret til at være med i fodtvætningens forordning, men sagde at han foretrak at bevidne det. Han spurgte om deltagelse i denne forordning var nødvendig før vi kunne tage del i nadveren, og vore brødre forsikrede at det ikke var obligatorisk, (277) og at han ville blive indbudt til Herrens bord. Denne Sabbat var den dyrebareste dag for hans sjæl; han sagde at han ikke havde en lykkeligere dag i sit liv.
