Not for the better, one presumes; in fact, as soon as I read this, I had a vision of the ACoC transforming into the Ungeziefer from Kafka’s Metamorphosis. That’s probably optimistic, though.

From June 3 to 11, 2010, more than 300 delegates will gather in Halifax, N.S. for the Anglican Church of Canada’s national meeting, General Synod, held once every three years. This web forum is a place to discuss the major topics that will arise at General Synod—from governance to sexuality. You are invited to join the conversation.

At this General Synod, there will be change—change in how we gather as a governing body, change in how we dialogue, and change in our vision. Those who gather in June will consider both how God is acting in our midst and what God is calling us to do differently. It may mean changing a light bulb or two. But imagine how much more brightly the light may shine if that happens.

What’s your attitude towards change in the church?

What never ceases to amaze me is that the ACoC appears to suffer from the delusion that the process of change is the problem, not what it is changing into.
