Restructuring goes up in flames.
OK, that may be a little much. But it’s pretty clear that people were not in favor of restructuring in the proposed way right now. Indeed, R-13 and R-14 were resoundingly defeated (without audible dissent!) Instead, R140a (which was amended and includes no visible restructuring language) was approved 93% to 6.7%:
To instruct the executive committee of General Synod to continue the denomination-wide dialogue and data collection with written survey and other means, on the missional purpose and work of the Reformed Church in America, its assemblies and congregations; and further
with all regional synods, all classes, all consistories, and other bodies to facilitate the conversation in order to gather wisdom, share ideas, and encourage experimentation, so that the RCA might discover new means by which to more effectively equip congregations for missions and ministry with measurable outcomes; and further,
to share the results of these actions with General Synod no later than 2010, in order to determine what future steps, if any, might be undertaken.
I like this.
Grace and Peace,
`tim
