Thanks Theresa. You didn't bore me. Perhaps I'm becoming a governance geek myself but I find the topic fascinating. What you said verifies the things I've been learning via books such as Governance and Ministry and Holy Conversations. Part of the challenge for me is how to help others understand the importance of the P's as you put it. I now have three other excellent people who will be helping me so I am thankful for that.
Hi, I'm MC at First CRC in Edmonton. I agree, same title doesn't mean same job description however it would still be great to connect. One of my roles is to connect and integrate the ministries of the church. This is a challenge because this is a new concept for people and requires a change in thinking. Our present governance structure is also not effective in bringing together ministries so I'm working with council to make some changes. How about the rest of you? What are the rewards and challenges of your work?
