i DON'T know.
Were there 'tongues and interpretations' at such meetings?
Or was Holy Spirit's evident presence in His still small voice role.
I don't see Him standing over many church council meetings with a ball bat.
Politics can often shove Him aside quite effectively.
Witness the Anglican/Episcopal homosexual travesty.
the " Anglican/Episcopal homosexual travesty" is because having separated themselves from the Body of Christ (The Church) they have alienated the Holy Spirit instead subjecting themselves to human emotions and reasoning.
