Paydaşlık

English translation: Fellowship time

18:02 Mar 3, 2009
Turkish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Religion / The Turkish Church
Turkish term or phrase: Paydaşlık
Greetings,

Please, what does paydaşlık mean here? I thought it had something to do with being a shareholder or joint ownership. I never thought it was used in a Christian context.

Please see for your reference:

All the best, and many thanks,

Explanation:
Dear Sir,

I am absolutely positive that this is the term. In fact, it is almost a translation from English into Turkish. Probably used in protestant congregations. I have given an example below but it is so common there are literally hundreds of thousands of examples.

disagree  TurkishEnglish.com Inc.: In this context, it cannot have this meaning. It is referring to the sharing time before or after worship.
