08-01: On Clarifying the Practice of our Theology of Call for those service General Assembly Entities
Ok... from what I can figure out....
This is a proposal to bring our hiring practices at the national level in line with the rest of our theology and system of government. When someone is an ordained Minister of the Word and Sacrament, they are extended a Call for a new job - not simply a job offer. There are certain differences between a regular job and a Call.
We do a good job at the church, Presbytery and Synod level of maintaining that difference. Apparently, we're not there at the GA level, and this overture is meant to ensure that the same Call is extended to Ministers of the Word and Sacrament at the National level as is extended elsewhere.
