3.) Polity check: If covenant is the heartbeat of our polity, we have to live into it fully—including how we support one another financially. Covenant should not mean congregational isolation, but mutual flourishing. Local church is the whole point of our endeavor. 5/5

2.) People over process: The future of the church doesn’t rest in business agendas. The church is the people. Vitality starts there—every time. 4/5

1.) Identity: Let’s be clear about who we are and where we’re headed. Let’s name it and claim it. Work here is needed. 3/5

Listening to the plenary sessions and seeing the tweets from #uccsynod it makes me think we need to refocus our witness and our general synod process IMHO 2/5
