General Synod 2007

Synod 2007 May 29th, 2007

Next week Thursday (June 7, 2007) at 7:30 pm, the Reformed Church in America will officially call to order it’s 201st General Synod at Third Reformed Church in Pella, IA.

Like last year, I will be attempting to put updates and reflections up on this blog describing what’s going on and (to the extent that I have the time) what I think it means.  Feel free to check back often, comment, and ask questions.  I will be busier this year than last year as I’ll be facilitating the Seminarian Seminar rather than simply attending “for the fun of it” (last year synod was vacation for me!)

Chances are VERY low that I’ll be blogging anything unrelated to synod, but if you’re ONLY interested in synod stuff, you can find that directly at:

I will post further pertinent links in the coming week. For now, know that General Synod is going to be drastically different this year than any year in the past.  The schedule is different, and the style of doing business is different.  There are also several MAJOR issues being discussed this year (particularly: a Missional Structures Report, the Belhar Confession, and support for “Our Call” — more on them later!)

Until then - blessings!

Grace and Peace,

`tim
