IN THE TRENCHES (March OUTLOOK)

Dear Editor,

I share Norman Haan’s thoughts in the March OUTLOOK (“In the Trenches”). We certainly should know the positions of those going to Synod. But a fellow minister and I have met great resistance in pushing this at Classis Cadillac. Other ministers expressed dismay at this kind of “unChristian” attitude. Surely we should trust the judgment of fellow believers and let the Spirit guide them. They carried the day–the motion to give opportunity for questions regarding positions was defeated. Our battle in the trenches was lost. We do not know the positions of our delegates on any issue! LORD, have mercy on us.
