Last Night's Council Meeting regarding RIC proposals

With one council member abstaining, all other council members voted yes on the two proposals presented by the RIC team last night.

The first proposal was that the council recommends passage on the vote to adopt the Affirmation of Welcome that would make Creator an RIC congregation.

The second proposal was that passage requires an 80% yes vote by voting members present at the congregational meeting.

The council recognized the team's work last night. There was thoughtful debate and questions, particularly around the percentage that required for passage. That both proposals were accepted by the council without substantive modification was a testimony to everyone's efforts.

Looking forward to Sunday's vote and the two worship services,

Gary
