Our plan is not complex. Even in its simplicity, however, it is important to note that there are no shortcuts. There is no quick-fix remedy. Reformation and renewal requires investment of valuable time, energy and resources.
Clergy feel like they are engaged in ministry in their local congregations all by themselves.
What happens at presbytery and at the General Assembly does not seem at all connected to what they are doing. Elders do not know where to begin in getting involved to make a difference. We began a program of making contact with clergy and elders in every presbytery. In talking to one, we try to encourage connection and meeting with others. We are facilitating the building of a grass roots network of individuals who would like to joint together to make a difference.
