Hi, There are several new discussion items on UnitedFuture.ca that I thought you might be interested in. The first four came out of today's live forum, the fifth is a discussion paper from the Comprehensive Review team:

1. How can we let go of some of our rules, committees, and red tape? What is helpful and necessary, and what is an obstruction to vibrant ministry?

2. If The United Church of Canada was founded in 2015, what would it look like? What would we take with us and what would we leave behind?

4. How can we expand our understanding of vitality to include not just growth in Sunday morning attendance, but also small congregations that are taking risks in mission, outreach, and community engagement?
