\nSo, I guess there’s a new addendum<\/a> to the document (United Plan for Cooperation, or UPC) that was to fade away for churches to sign<\/strike> agree to. Sheesh, I hope we don’t have another big signature<\/strike> agreement discussion \/ debate \/ brouhaha over this one.
\nAnyway, at one time it was a big deal to me, so I thought I’d acknowledge it. Now? Not so much. The original Unity Proposal has turned out to be a non-issue as far as I’m concerned. I guess it helped those who thought it was a good idea, from my perspective it had little to no impact on our church, which is a good thing.
\nAnyway, it’s there with more things to agree to, or maybe it’s the same things stated in a different way or something. I honestly don’t care, as long as it doesn’t effect what we are doing here. I only mention it out of tradition as it used to be a Big Deal to me.
\nMy focus these days is both bigger (Jesus, the Gospel, the larger Christian community, etc) and smaller (my family, my kids) these days, so this is simply a momentary distraction. It was always sort of an answer in search of a question anyway.
\nAnyway, there it is. Sorry to waste your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
