Open Discussion

We would like to promote discussion as much as possible.  We would encourage you all to join the discussion below.  Initially Vick Woods responded to the transition blog with several excellent suggestions and questions.  I have broken those into separate discussion threads. Check them out below under General discussions.

Anyone can view the discussion below but you must register to join the discussion.  This is also a moderated discussion.  Which therefore means all posts will have to be approved before they will be made public.  This is just to make sure we somehow don't get a bunch of automated spam posts.

I agree that over communication is better than not enough, but I also think that everyone should know all decisions being made. The reality is that most people are not going to be interested or concerned, but those who are should have the opportunity to be a part of that discernment. Perhaps, given the fact that this is a unique change for us, we should have a monthly congregational meeting at least for the year prior to Bob's retirement in order for people to hear in person what's going on and be able to voice their concerns, insights, comments, etc.

I love the idea of this blog format and the other communication ideas but many people, especially many seniors who don't "do computers" will be left out of the loop. There is nothing like face to face conversation with those people you love.

Our intention is to duplicate as much as possible all communication in multiple formats.

It is important to include the larger congregation in the decision-making now. Those among us who care, can have important and vital input that will be missed if we wait till its down to a couple of candidates. Again, all the avenues of communication that are being set up will be great for getting info out.The potential candidate/s should definately come and preach probably more than once.
