Tonight, our leadership team completed its first reading of the new proposed bylaws (constitution) for the church. Needless to say, there were some concerns and discussion. Nevertheless, it seems the primary concerns were twofold: first, that we were going to need to really work hard to deal with the new concepts of how we run things that have been presented by the proposal, and second, that those who really want to do the business of discipleship and not worry about the structures so much don’t get dragged in to the middle of some big discussion.
We will look at this again soon.
