catrina ciccone commented on 21 March 2010:Hmm. . .I think I like the Visions and Expectations draft - especially that it replaces a lot of passive language with more active language. I also find it interesting that they added language going after lone rangers, lining out clearer expectations for collegiality and synod involvement. That's especially interesting considering that a number of the congregations leaving the ELCA, allegedly over sexuality decisions, are led by lone rangers who haven't wanted anything to do with their synod or the wider church for years - I think the sexuality vote just gave them the issue they could use to rile their folks up enough to convince them to make the break official.
