Thank you everyone for your helpful and enlightening comments. I can now provide clarity and direction to our Council and staff on this matter of executive committee membership and appropriate functioning.
Great article, Monica. I've searched all over for help with this naivete, from a Reformed perspective, and it's so very difficult to find. But finally I found a sermon from a Reformed Church pastor, Sam Powell. An amazing, excellent message, which pulls no punches, and yet is full of grace. The sermon is in audio and can be found here. http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?m=t&s=2101414322610 . It speaks directly to your thesis. ---S
