To call or not to call...

Dear Editor,

I refer you to the above article by Aaron Menikoff in August’s en. As a young Christian in the 1950s, I remember a regular feature of local Baptist Church services was the appeal for those who were under conviction of sin through the Holy Spirit there and then to repeat in their hearts the prayer the evangelist used for repentance and to come forward as an act of commitment to Christ. Chosen folk would be at the front of the church to counsel any who came forward.

Also we had the Billy Graham campaigns held at Haringey and Earls Court. Billy would never preach a sermon evangelistically without giving the congregation a chance to confess Christ if they had received him at the service. Many went forward each evening and counsellors were there to pray with those who had come forward.
