Modern Christian Terminology

 A hostile takeover in the name of God.

A hostile takeover is a type of acquisition where a company (the acquirer) takes control of another company (the target company) without the approval or consent of the target company's board of directors. In other words, the target company's management is not in favor of the takeover, hence the term "hostile".


This is a new one on me.  There are at times the secular business world intersects with the religious.  Recently my former church, Anaheim Free Methodist was taken over by the Pacific Coast Japanese Free Methodist conference and given over to another church.  This was without warning or consent of the AFM board.  Notice was given on a Sunday and taken affect on that same day.  Staff was relieved of their duties, finances taken over and new pastor assigned.  It is now the North Campus of the Voice Church.  https://www.voice.church/secondlocation

Needless to say, the former congregation is not happy.  The question is, if it is labeled the will of God by the denomination leadership, is it?
