Global Legislative Assembly 2019
Today kicked off the 2019 WCA Legislative Assembly. It was a productive day with the entire agenda accomplished in a way that brought glory to our Lord.
We elected 7 delegates to serve the 2022 class. The Resolution endorsing the Indianapolis Plan was debated and adopted with a couple of minor changes. The resolution for receiving and commending the “Draft Book of Doctrines and Disciplines was passed and immediately released to the public for their reading and comments are welcome. The resolution for empowering Ministry Task Forces as accepted and those wishing to join one of these teams can contact WCA President Keith Boyette explaining which team and why you would like to work with that team.

It was a great Legislative Session with a spirit of unity and Christlikeness. There were 225 delegates present and the diversity of young people, women, men, and ethnic minorities was astounding. I have not been in a meeting in recent times where I felt this excited about the spirit in the room. A spirit of doing something exciting and new. A spirit of working together, and a spirit of orthodoxy. We were actually working together as one.
There were many comments from people who are ready to see change in our church.
“I’m past wanting to shake the dust off my feet and go, but I am grateful for WCA holding us to patient love.”
“Separation will occur in May 2020, Either because a resolution is adopted for amicable separation or because it all comes apart, and the latter would be a more harsh separation for everyone.”
We began the day with approximately 400 people with delegates and observers and by the end of the day we had grown to near 1000 people. Tomorrow as many as 3000 people are expected to be in person and in satellite sites around the world for the closing day.
