A Family Chat on the following points: 1. Family Matters How will we have tough conversations together? We are not going to address specific topics today but we are going to talk about how to have tough conversations together. 2. Governance and Credentialing Matters Articles of Practice update and need for Credentialed Ministers Manual. With the decision by the EMCC membership at our last Assembly to separate the EMCC Articles of Faith and the Articles of Practice into two documents, the Theology Commission has commenced a process to receive input from the constituency and draft an updated version of the Articles of Practice. 3. Compass Points After a number of listening and discerning retreats, we are sensing the Lord, our Guide has given us compass points for the next few years of our journey together as an EMCC family. We believe they will serve as navigational markers as we head into uncharted territory. These compass points are Future Ready, Multiplication-Minded, Actively-Engaged, and Christ-like Character. We will have the opportunity to break into smaller groups for further conversation on each of these points. Please begin to consider which point you would be interested in discussing further.
