General Synod is just around the corner (it starts next week). General Synod is the Reformed Church in America’s huge denominational meeting – it’s the body that makes the decisions on behalf of the entire denomination. This year, there are the potential for some biggies – most importantly (in my opinion) the potential adoption of a new “theological standard” (the Belhar Confession), something the RCA has never done before.
I’ll be blogging again, for those of you who are interested. Some days it may be indepth, other days not. It’s a busy week and I can’t guarantee what I’ll have the time for. A direct link to the Synod stuff is: http://synod.tenclay.org.
If you’re interested in getting a head start on what’s going on, you can download a copy of the workbook at: http://www.rca.org/Page.aspx?pid=5527
If you’re close, you’re welcome to attend! You can’t speak or vote, but you certainly can learn a lot by observing. There’s a schedule at: http://images.rca.org/docs/synod/SynodSchedule.pdf
Stop by the Seminarian Seminar tables… I’ll be spending most of my time back there!
Grace and Peace,
