“Two North Texas faith leaders are locked in a
legal battle over the naming rights of their churches.” To my way of thinking
this is a sinful and silly case that demonstrates how far from the mark of the
simplicity of “New Testament Church” we have fallen. One pastor won a trademark for a body she founded about two
years ago in West Dallas. Another pastor
has “invested tens of thousands of dollars…in establishing a (compelling) brand
in our city” (which is north of Dallas). Now the two are locked in a legal
battle over the name – Lift Church![i]
Who knew we needed trademarked church names – and lawsuits
over them – in order to preach the gospel to the world!
[i] LIFT Community
Church (affiliation unknown, possibly UMC) and Lift Frisco (affiliated
with Converge,
formerly the Baptist General Conference)
