I really like your idea, Andy, of a "Benevolence Committee, for instance, was made up of a group of commissioned social workers with renewable terms, rather than deacons who rotate out after a term." I think that this is an idea that might be excellent to work out with developing a model Job Description, model process to put this in place, and guidelines for healthy benevolence. And then sharing this model and process as part of the deacon essentials training coming out of CRCNA. Just a thought.
