You may have heard that there was a recommendation to bring Deacons into full participation of the RCA’s assemblies (R-15). It didn’t go. However, the following recommendation DID:
To direct the commission on theology to prepare a study on whether there is a theological basis within a reformed an missional ecclesiology for the inclusion of deacons as full members of classes regional synods, and the general synod for report to the 2009 General Synod.
It was moved by Jim Brownson — a good move, I think.
