Wasn’t it exciting to gather for Canada East Mission Conference last weekend? The smiles, hugs, and reconnecting generated a palpable energy in the room. Much appreciation is deserved by the planning committee and especially the Woodfield congregation for a successful first hybrid conference. Those assembled online (58) and in person (70) brought a remarkable gift of presence. Thank you, pastors, for adhering to our bylaws and submitting delegate lists to CEM office two weeks prior to conference.
Here is a list of what we accomplished
Clarification: CEM Conference Bylaw Article 5 does not deal with notice for legislation. A request came from the body for longer lead time to consider legislative materials prior to the conference. This year we provided legislative material to pastors 7 weeks prior to the conference with the expectation that this would be shared with members in the congregation. It is incumbent upon pastors to share this information with their congregation and provide opportunity for dialogue so that delegates have occasion to learn the viewpoints of congregational members. In the months ahead, we will develop tools for further dialogue on the issue of member vs delegate conference as recommended by the special committee report. If you missed the Conference Reports, you can view the recordings here. Comments are closed.
