Until the worries behind these questions are put to rest the project may never progress. If adequate answers are not given, the worst case scenarios are often assumed.

The prominent members will get what they want. A small powerful group will push it through. No matter how badly needed, or how sound the plans, if the congregation is not involved in the decision making process, resistance, lack of support, and personal attacks are likely to result. We will follow a clear, open process to study our needs and the options. Frequent interim report will be made to the Vestry and congregation about what we have learned and the conclusions which are emerging.
