Delegates or Not?

Hey Judy and All

First, Judy thanks for the post and for the clarification. It helped me understand where you were coming from on Saturday. And I think the reasoning behind the "guidelines" (I hate the words rules and laws!) make sense in the election process.

I'll keep the conversation (not argument!) going by saying that once elected, we are more apt to need to follow the GC guidelines than our own guidelines. Dare I say that if this were taken to JC the AC guidelines would be overruled. But who would want to know what that group thinks? I'm holding my breath with them on a current ruling on Wes Kendall that will come about during GC.

So the question I throw out to the delegation is once elected, and elected by laity with clear intention of where they are willing to serve or have the time to serve.........but once elected we are a delegation as a whole, not part. And we work on all of these issues together, not in separation.

I will respect inclusive leadership with agendas on top of the table. Any other leadership I will be a pain in the ___ to deal with!

I seem to be channeling Rev Schuster..............it must be a reincarnation thing!

A sense of humor will be our only salvation!

The sun is now shinning!
