Updating Our Governing Documents
GBC
Friends and Family,
Talking about revisions to our GBC Constitution
and Bylaws is probably not the most exciting topic you may want to
consider this summer, but I'll argue it's one of the more important
ones for us as a community of Christ. And I, for one, am excited to
begin this important dialogue.
Since last fall, a special task force appointed by the church
has been meeting each month to review both documents and recommend
updates to them. Our records indicate we last did such a major
review and update like this around 10 years ago.
The report of this group's work is available, (outside the
church office and sent by email), and
we'd like to encourage in
broad congregational discussion about the recommendations -- to hear
your questions and feedback and respond before the church formally
considers these
proposals at our July business meeting.
