Good discussion!! I was a delegate to Synod 2010, and heard much about the structure.
Change is needed--as is obvious by what happened to two top people who were very good at what
they did. I discussed with Bob DeMoor, at synod one day, the editorial he had written in The Banner, (quite some time back now) and it seemed to me that he hit it right. Things were OK up until a certain point ,and the things got screwed up, probably be the BOT making changes.
Has anyone in the "heirarchy" of the CRC ever considered retaining---Arrow Leadership, of Vancouver & Portland
to help us walk through a "redo" of our denominational leadership structure? These are Christian people who
have helped restructure such organizations as World Vision, Salvation Army, etc. to be the most effective they can
Thanks for the good comments, and some humor. I think that overtures 3&4 are foolish!! Wow, how's that for being direct. They remind me of political gerrymandering, and these churches should be told to grow up, and live with it. If synod keeps allowing "splitting up" like that, I wonder what our denomination demographics will end up looking like??
