Doing the Business of the Church
Following is a clip of the 2017 Synod convention passing Resolution 17.03.06 to Decline to Discuss CEF from Committee 3. Committee 3's proposal confined itself to how the ABC District's CCAA proceeding was being overseen by the courts and left out the ecclesiastical aspects (namely telling people their money was safe when they knew it...

This is a follow-up to Update #2 where I discussed the implications of the convention delegates being separated by clergy and lay status. I wrote that article on the basis of what I believed was a report by an convention attendee. I have since gotten confirmation that the separate seating did not happen and the... Continue Reading →

Update 2018-10-21: I wrote this article on the basis of what I believed was a report by an convention attendee. I have since gotten confirmation that what I alleged happened - namely the separation of delegates by clergy and lay status during the convention - did not happen. That means that I accused President Schaeffer... Continue Reading →
