Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I've been a moderator here for years, and a supporter of this site for longer than that...

My daughter and her suitor are both communicant members of solid bible-preaching churches, and have been examined not only by their parents, but by the elders of their churches. Neither I nor his parents would allow their children to court an unbeliever.

I was hoping for a little discussion on why so many people find it awkward and unnatural to put their faith into words; why evangelism training seminars are apparently necessary (and what the folks think of that kind of training - Evangelism Explosion, for example); and why many evangelicals rely on gospel tracts instead of personal personal evangelism. At least that's what I had in mind in the original post.

Just forget I asked.
