General Synod 2008 — Some Post-Assembly Reflections
It was my intention to submit some blog posts during Synod. Alas, I was kept so busy that I found no time to compose. One of those Matthew 26:41 things. So, please accept this report.

GS 2008 – Talking to Oneself
In his slim, but significant volume, Self-Talk, the French anthropologist John Lembo, wrote: “Every waking moment we talk to ourselves about the things we experience. Our self-talk, the thoughts we communicate to ourselves, in turn control the way we feel and act.”
Despite quite clear instructions of R-16, passed by last year’s General Synod, calling for a dialogue involving all RCA assemblies, the upcoming General Synod is about to engage in an exercise of self-talk.

GS 2008 Workbook Notations
Jim Reid has developed the following helpful commentary on the Workbook for next week’s General Synod. He focuses on two important yet typically overlooked sections: the report of the Commission on Church Order, and the proposed by-laws of the General Synod Council.
I encourage you to ponder what he has to say. Delegates to Synod especially will be edified.
