William Carey planted a seed that can never be minimalized. A great pioneer. Daniel thoughts on oversight of church courts is ok to the end of their being made aware, but not for permission of such endeavor. The 'courts' of Crey's days were overwhelmingly against him going to the heathen. Thank God he listened to our Lord instead of them. "Courts' have the tendancy to act like Saul's armour. Way to heavy and burdensome to accomplish the mission at hand. Hence David took it off.
