to clarify

I have recieved many emails over the past few days from people who are concerned that I will no longer speak my mind regarding the work of the IMB. Although the new policy does forbid me from being "critical" of board approved action. Rest assured, I will speak my convictions in a positive and upbeat fashion, never disparaging of either board action or board personalities.

As I have said before, I have not changed my positions or my concerns expressed in any of my previous posts. I believe a healthy discussion about ecclesiology and missions will be good for all of us. I believe we are all in a learning process the end result of which will be very positive. I believe it will be possible for trustees to speak their mind in a way that "speaks the truth in love". That is our mandate and that will be my guide in future posts regarding the IMB.
