By the time we arrived, we had already been inundated with information. The “Blue Book” came out a month or so before convention with 758 pages of legislative information – reports of commissions, committees and agencies of the church, resolutions, and biographies of those running for a position on various councils.
First impressions: the convention center is huge, and so is the church – people from all over with different viewpoints, different worship expressions – and all seeking to find the way we can be church together.
The church is “huge”? I guess it demands on what one defines as “huge”.
My apologies: “demands” should be “depends”.
Huge? Maybe. It is shrinking every year! Don’t these people understand numbers?? I would say that all this *new thang* ain’t doing so well for evangelism and adding to the numbers.
