Into the Breach
Matt Kennedy+

The diocesan deputies to General Convention will be in town this evening for a “listening session.” The purpose of this meeting is to let the deputies hear from the “people in the pews.”

As many of you know I am persuaded that we moved past the “listening” point in Minneapolis 2003.
However, a vestry member I greatly respect feels it our duty to bear witness one last time. And others agreed. They seem to feel somewhat like Jeremiah must have, called and compelled to speak the truth to people who will not listen.

And so we’re going. We’ve drafted a statement (below) and have prepared our people. The meeting is (naturally) going to be held in the most radical parish in the diocese.
