A Show Without Popcorn?!

I just got in from our annual church business meeting. Over the past six weeks, our senior pastor has been alluding to coming changes. And tonight was the big parliamentary meeting, complete with Robert's Rules of Order and voting... on some things.

Not all items were allowed to be voted on. In fact, sweeping changes were basically presented as fact.

And then the "show" began. They should have served popcorn. The questions from the congregation were valid. The answers from the elders were verbal dances.

I left after being there for two hours, as I saw the lines at the microphones were many people deep and this was sure to go on for a long while. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
