[Fuusm-l] Dialogue Session 2 & 3

[Darryl Ting]

FUUSM Community,



The Second Dialogue Session on the minister’s performance, on August 23,
went well.  Attendance was 36 voting members.  Five more speakers read
prepared statements of first-hand experiences.  We heard a summary of the
Board’s Ministerial Performance Review Process and a summary of the last
evaluation.  And we had a period of open discussion on the minister’s
performance.  Once again, participants listened and respected each other
even when they disagreed.

Thank you to all who attended and participated.



The Third Dialogue Session will be on Sept. 6, 7-8:30pm upstairs in the
church.  During this session, the focus will be on What’s Next.

We have 5 high priority issues.  Two are issues specific to Rev. Kat’s
performance:  Acknowledgement of past mistakes; and Changes for the
future.  Three other issues are about congregational governance: the role
and responsibility of the congregation; the current Conflict Resolution
Procedure; and Congregational Meetings on the Minister’s Performance.  If
time permits, we will address two other issues: Report of the results of
the Board’s Ministerial Performance Review Process to the Congregation; and
Modifications to that Review Process.

This is a large agenda, and we will use a facilitator to help us focus on
the issues and make decisions in a timely manner.  We suggest you review
the attached copy of the Conflict Resolution Procedure to prepare for the
meeting.

We will be developing and voting on motions that are statements of the
group’s position on these issues or recommendations to the Board for
action.  As follow-up, we plan to issue an email to the congregation (and
by extension, the Board) reporting those statements and recommendations.



This will be the last session.  So please mark your calendars and plan to
attend and participate.



Your Dialogue Sessions Steering Team,

Karen Binkley, Nancy Luthy, Darryl Ting
