Still, if we were less couture minded, would you have rebuked a sister for speaking her mind? Is the Ukraine really that important? Cousin Prissy is actually a very kind woman whose walk with the Lord can not be doubted. Prissy is all upset and feels she can't step foot in church again after this. What are your thoughts? How can she once again find herself in the good graces of the faithful? Tithing surely doesn't solve everything, does it?

That's a hard one, Sister. I recall one time when
someone who shall remain nameless, created such a commotion that good and noble True Christian™ men had a difficult time attending to worship. Poor Jeb had to combat
ugly rumors about his attention to sinful detail lest others would be similarly distracted from paying homage to the LORD. I think anyone who brings such a distraction into a prayer group should be the one rebuked, and if your cousin is as mild-mannered and polite as you, her counsel should have been respected. I'll keep her in my prayers.
