Click here to read the latest Devon Park press release.
It has come to my attention that a small minority of participants in the Joint Conference of Restoration Branches have made proposals hostile to CoC members which will have to be voted on at the upcoming JCRB General Conference. (April 18th-24th) I know that the vast majority of people there, including myself, don't want these hostilities and are glad to welcome any legitimately baptized member of the church including CoC members and I do not believe this will change, ever. The inclusive policy of the JCRB is one of the main things that I believe makes it a legitimate general conference. It is different from any other previous organization of the kind because of it's consistent refusal to stoop to the level of excluding anyone just because we don't like them, don't like some organization they're with or don't agree with their ideas. Every other similar effort has failed to keep this high standard of inclusiveness. We aren't called to be Keeping People Out but instead to be Bringing People In. Too many RLDS folks have forgotten that.
I think what the church ultimately needs is a revival, based on teaching the fundamentals. Of RLDS church doctrine. Which, of course, we can't do publicly at present because of the court order.
