“You should never give up on any inactive member. You can never tell when God will touch their hearts and breathe in them His Holy Spirit. If you throw them out, you have lost them, lost their children and perhaps lost also  their relatives. What do you gain by throwing them out except turmoil, confusion and conflicts within the Church.”
(Antiochian Metropolitan Phlip+, 1994 address)
