We have an extraordinarily diverse Presbytery. While most churches tend toward monchrome, there are many rainbow churches as well. In our system, we provide for a body to be our conscience for representation. The committee has not been active for years. We seem to have a great and diverse group, but the membership is totally new.
Tonight we talked about the barriers to expression that 1st generation Americans find even when their views are welcome. It is hard, because we think that we are doing everthing that we can do to be open. So how do you make people comfortable contributing when they aren’t sure that they understand everything that is happening.
The really wonderful thing about the committee on representation is the recognition that these folks are the future, and their views are the views we must hear if we are to be a part of the future.
