The post 11-20-16 (Post Election Firestorm) appeared first on Common Thread Church.

A lot has happened to our community recently. Our minister (me) got the boot from the denomination we were part of. Our community voted to keep the minister (again, me), which meant our vote was to both leave the denomination, and since the denomination owns the building, to find a new home.

It’s been a lot.

And while all that tumult has been going on, we have been thinking about our long-term future together. What is the future of NRCC? Where are we going?

Our guru-smart consultant (Jack Fallow) came from Scotland to meet with us for most of September, and in today’s community meeting ,we report where that month of discernment has pointed us.

If you’re part of our community, you know that our denomination is deciding if they will ask us to leave. I (Doug) wrote a book that raised some red flags for them, so they’ll decide soon whether my credentials will be revoked. If that happens, our community will vote to stay or remain in the denomination.

Bummer.

Today’s lesson is spiritual preparation should the vote happen next week — some principles to guide the inner work before us.

The post Some Principles Before We Vote appeared first on Common Thread Church.

We take a break from our current lesson for our annual community meeting. We cover what work we did in 2014 to make NRCC a healthier spiritual community, and why we did it. We also talk about how we’ll decide what work we’ll do in 2015 (and of course, why we will do it).

To follow the morning’s talk, you’ll need the powerpoint.
