@Seriously, no I wasn’t a delegate or attendee (hard from this side of the globe). Thank you for the clarification. It appears to have been handled appropriately the way you have explained it. I appreciate the clarification and I stand corrected. Apologies to anyone I may have offended.
It would be an interesting exercise to choose at random any one congregation/church today and, page by page, compare their actions to the church manual. If the manual can be weaponized, just consider the potential for the elimination of noncompliance. Think of the potential for uniformity. Oh, and I’m still waiting for the catechism committee to be announced. Give me all the right answers so I can memorize them and quiz others to make sure we’re unified.
