addendum
There is so much that
unites us. While we will
always consider and
even disagree on some
understandings and
applications of doctrine,
let us join together in
worshipping the Lord
in spirit and in life.
Since the original release of this article
some weeks ago, several forums have
been organized to provide feedback,
and a number of people have contacted
the Bishop’s Office directly. We are
working to incorporate as many of
the thoughts and ideas as we can, and
appreciate the time people are taking
to respond, whether in support of our
established policy or opposed.
I have encouraged pastors
throughout the Church to meet with
people, listen, and begin a discussion
of how we can better provide for
the participation of laity, especially women, in the Church. Please consult
with your pastor about this. I look forward to working with the pastors and
people of the Church in a variety of ways to promote a culture of respect and
opportunities to serve.
