Sorry. I realize this may be a Christian (or Jewish) in-joke. After Moses led the Israelites out of slavery, they quickly became disgruntled. No food, no water. "Remember the great food in Egypt?" "Did you bring us out here in the desert to kill us, or what?"
Thus, the snarky minister-type (like me) who's dealing with a congregation that hates and mistrusts change, might be tempted to say, Hey, why don't you people go and form a Back-to-Egypt Committee?

Does that make any sense whatsoever?
we have one of those. It's called the session. :)
Looking for hymns sunday I found one you might find appropriate for this committee to use as a theme song: "When Israel was in Egypt's Land"..."
Yes that makes sense. Thank you.
no, I LOVE it.
I totally stole this today over at my place.
Hey - it's called the session at my church, too! What a coincidence!
