LC Devotional Practices

Oddly enough, I still hear “brother” and “sister” occasionally, but not as a regular replacement for names. There was a brother in Dallas years ago (I’ve heard that he may be an elder or such in the GLA now ─ don’t know on which side of the great divide he stands) who virtually never spoke my name. It was the same for him with respect to almost everyone. I know of one person who said to him “X, my name is Y. It would really be good if you could call me by my name occasionally” or something like that. I’m not sure if it actually helped.
