[Worship] order of service folder for pilot program this summer

[Darryl Ting]

Adeline,

Some comments ....

Is this new folder to be given to newcomers or everyone?

Under philosophy of inclusion.  The language of the first two sentences 
sound very ideological and academic.  Can we find words/expressions that 
the visitor/newcomer can relate too more easily?  Also, can we include 
in this section, the idea that we welcome people with a wide variety of 
religious beliefs that inspire them to live a moral life as expressed by 
our principles. "Whatever beliefs are helpful to you in leading a moral 
life" are words that have resonated with newcomers.  You could even 
include some examples within our congregation (Christians, atheists, 
Buddhists, pagans, agnostics, Jewish, Sikh are some I know of).

Thanks,

Darryl
