The RCA is at a crossroads. As a denomination we are discerning God's will for our future. Any direction we take will involve great change. The Vision 2020 Team has been tasked by General Synod 2018 with prayerfully and effectively researching options for our future and presenting a preferred option to General Synod 2020. Our research must include (but not be limited to) the three scenarios suggested by General Synod 2018: staying together, significant reorganization, and grace-filled separation.
We invite you to help us in this important moment by praying for the Vision 2020 Team, that we would hear the voice of the Spirit and that we would have strength and courage in our work. We also ask you to help us with our discernment by sharing your thoughts about the future of the RCA in a brief survey and asking the congregations you serve to do the same. Our goal is to hear voices from every corner of the denomination through this survey, and we truly hope yours is one of them.
We will be collecting responses to the survey until January 31. Please consider taking a few minutes to offer your perspective on the future of the RCA before January 31. We also ask that you help us share this invitation with other RCA members, congregants, and colleagues. Each person brings important wisdom that we need to hear in order to get a complete picture of how the Spirit is speaking to the denomination.
Grace and peace to you in Jesus,
The Vision 2020 Team
