I have become aware of one additional category chatting with churches and pastors: Reformed but skeptical. These churches are in alignment theologically and confessionally, but feel that Synod far overstepped its authority, or just downright don't like the heavy-handed approach to enforcement that Synod is taking. There is skepticism around what will come in synod 2025, and if what comes ahead is even more firm and heavy-handed, then what for these churches to do, who already are uneasy with how Synod 2024 is approaching discipline?
