Voting Rights

October 17, 2007 at 2:50 pm (churchy stuff, noble?)

Did you know, the form of government for the United States is based on that of the Presbyterian Church (USA)??? Indeed it is. The idea for a representative, connectional form of government comes right out of the Presbyterian tradition.

In June of next year, Presbyterians will exercise their right to make decisions when they come together in San Jose, CA for the 218th General Assembly (GA). At GA, representatives from all over the country, will be voting on a variety of issues affecting the life, ministry, and witness of our denomination. We will be having two key elections to name our most “out front” leadership: the Stated Clerk and Moderator.

I have put my name in as a candidate for commissioner from the Presbytery of the Western Reserve. Perhaps there is some interest in reading my application. You can access the pdf here: fmillergaapplication.pdf

Let me know what you think.

Peace!
