[Council] info attached to OS for April 30th

[Dawn Hewitt]

Speaking here as the church lady, not as the co-chair of the Green Sanctuary Committee: the FUUSM Congressional Covenant will be passed out at the service tomorrow per Kat’s request. I didn’t ask why. But that document is the official FUUSM Covenant document, and I presume it was established or updated in 2003.  I don’t know that I’ve ever read the whole thing before, but I’m grateful to have the opportunity.

In the meantime this is what it references:  It is a copy of the Congregational Covenant dates 10/19/03 FUUSM Doc. #13 Page 1

It feels like the intent, and I'm reading into this, is to squelch disagreement with how things are being done, or perhaps how the minister is leading or not leading.  Is this in response to my report last Sunday or Darryl's ideas or something else?  I'd like it to be clear what brought this about and the solution they are looking for because it feels like it is saying we have no right to correct wrongs, disagree with old-fashioned ways of doing business, or with the minister.

>> What is the next step?  I have filled out my minister's job review survey and I am sitting on it for a few days to make sure I am clear in my responses, and not overlooking what needs to be said.  It can be so easy to back down from a position that is not popular, and I am determined to remain as neutral as possible in the observations I offer as the leader of the Chalice Lighter Project.
