Congregational Meeting on Sunday

We will have a congregational meeting on Sunday, right after worship, to discuss the recent Illinois Mennonite Conference (IMC) "at variance" proposal for resolving a long impasse over credentialing same sex married clergy. All are welcome to attend, but only members will be voting on the proposal. Here are some things to look over in advance, to be informed of the conversation...

• The text of the proposal is available here.

• A primer with helpful details about IMC and issues surrounding this proposal is available here. 

• A document from 2022 in which conference leaders gave their observations on the state of member church discussions within the conference is available here.
  

Please review these documents, pray for the Spirit to guide all the churches in IMC, and plan to stay after the service on Sunday to listen and participate. Thank you! ~RPC Leadership
