Hi Joan of Ark,
What you are doing on your blog is really really good. It means that you have not given up on the good fight. Could you answer me one thing...if you had to pick who should be on council at the Exeter CRC who would it be and why?
I am one of the ones that stand up for women in office but don't want a twenty minute speech from the elders of the Exeter CRC about the rights and wrongs in the church.
How many more families have to leave the church in order for the Council to change their ways about women in office?
Could your blog stir up the pot more with letters of what you think on your blog? - This is what I want to hear and so many women amoung us.
Why is it that the Exeter CRC asks for money for the budget less then other donations when at the end of the year they come up short and ask for more money from everyone to make up for it?
Can we openly discuss who and what council is doing? New ones have been installed and yet we don't hear much about them.
Thanks for starting up this blog again - because council almost thought they won.
Happy Thanksgiving, Believer of God

The letter writer asks : " Why don't we hear from Council?"
It seems safe to say that a majority in council hopes this blog and discussion will disappear. Apparently it will not go away but we who are advocates for THE DISADVANTAGED ( which in Exeter CRC includes women) are looking for a decent , no name-calling, PUBLIC discussion. A presentation by a minister who believes men and women are equally gifted and are suitable for all offices in the church, whether ordained or not!
What happened to that promise given by Council a year ago at a congregational meeting. Is Council going back on that promise of equal representation and discussion of both pro and con women in office?
Let your yes be yes and your no , no........ total silence on Council's part is an insult to our belief and conviction! Not to mention breaking a promise on your part. Are you promise keepers or promise breakers?
It may be time to involve Classis, our attempts to communicate with Council have had no results or not even a response most of the time.
For shame!
