[QUOTE="osupoke, post: 3313575, member: 18400"] I have been a member of our church security team for a couple of years. Couple of ideas: A Time to Kill: The Bible and Self Defense, by Greg Hopkins, is an excellent read. If you can convince anyone to read it, you might get some traction. That's a long shot, but if you read it you might pick up some good talking points. Also, I would say don't be afraid to start small. Our team pretty much started as one man, then several eventually joined. Many were not even armed, but were just "eyes and ears" with radios. Several in the congregation were leery at first, but eventually got used to seeing the earpieces. We are well accepted now, and are even thanked for what we do. It has just taken time. That being said, you may have to start as a very small team (maybe even just you). If you make the congregation aware that you are taking up the mantle, I suspect that eventually others will get used to the idea, then eventually join you. [/QUOTE]
