It is now after 4:00 on Friday afternoon ... and we are lost in Robert's Rules of Order and our reluctance to discuss what the definition of Christian marriage means. Is it between a man and a woman or is it between two people? The committee report included two minority reports. Each minority report has the possibility of replacing the committee report as the main motion. We have been discussing procedure and trying to make our way through this one question for more than two hours. The first minority report was voted down. The second minority report is in the process of possibly being amended.
We have hours yet to go, and we have to get the assembly business completed before noon tomorrow. A little while ago a delivery guy came in with two pizzas for some hungry commissioners. The feeling in the room has changed ... we know how serious this issue is for the denomination. As the guy sitting in front of me said, "There will be an assembly that will vote this in." Whether it is this one or not remains to be seen. At the break we are hearing Kirk Franklin's "Do you want a revolution?"
Folks are exhausted ... and there is so much more to do ...
Continue to pray for our commissioners and our denomination.
