Recruiting delegates to Synod., Good article. In our church in GR East, we recruited two new deacons who were willing to attend Synod and they were presented to Classis. It seems that there was no room for discussion about those on the ballot, and It appears often to outsiders that those who had attended before, or who had name recognition in Classis, always seem to "win" the vote.
There should be an unwritten rule that at least half of the delegates should be first-time attendees, We might be surprised to learn that younger members would be delighted to attend if the culture recognizes that they may have much to contribute--they just are not well known to the "in group."

How is it possible that there seems to so little discussion about a primary cause of poverty and racial disparity--that is education? Let's have a major discussion on the need for more Christian and/or charter schools for inner-city kids? A large majority of inner city parents desire better education for their children, yet the church seems to ignor this issue.
