We Live in a Time of
Change – Is it a Curse or a Blessing?
Since early 2013
there has been a group called the Comprehensive Review Task Group
working within the United Church of Canada. ON March 3rd
they released their report. It proposes radical (and remember that
radical comes from the Latin radix
or root) change for us as a denomination.
As
I write this I have only read the teaser that was on the website, not
the actual report, so I have no firm opinion on what they are
proposing. I have preliminary ones but am trying to
keep an open mind until I read the report twice (once for my initial
emotional reaction and then a second more reasoned read-through.
If
you are interested in what they had to say you can find the report
(and some other documents surrounding it) here:
http://www.gc42.ca/comprehensive-review-report.
It
is my intent to give some more information in the April Newsletter.
But also I wanted to give a heads-up that sometime after Easter I
will host a gathering of interested folk from the congregation to
talk about the proposed changes. Presbytery will have a meeting to
talk about it on April 18th
so it might be nice if we had a discussion before then.
