Is this all extraneous material considering the extensive nature of God as eternal and impossible to place in a box ... or particular cupid ... cubit? You did notice the interchangeability of "p" "b" "þ" once known as a thorn as with roué's that the man must be accepted to get it ... something of a funny dialogue, or intercourse in word! Penetrating into the baffling thought baree Eire ...

Just keep going....
My Observer just came today. Actually, he did apretty good job describing the issue. I bet they will get a lot of mails.
No doubts there ... considering the diversity ... even polity!
I'll Ave to checkout what he folks at he observer have to say. Mom's copy of the observer is upstairs. Ever an interesting and challenging read.
It's a good article. I didn't realize that Westhill opened a satellite church on October 19th in Mississauga Ontario. Who is funding that and is this considered to be part of the United Church too?

well that raises a whole other issue...
because one can not simply set up another UCCan presence in an area without some level of consultation with neighbouring churches and Presbytery
So it is a UCCan presence? I'm confused how she is able to keep moving forward with her plans while under review?

I don't think being under review actually changes anything in her status, does it? It's not like a cabinet minister who has to step down while under investigation or a cop being put on leave while being tried on Police Act charges. Until there is actually a ruling putting her on DSL, she continues to be an active minister unless she chooses to take a leave.
Ah, you read better than I do....I wonder how it's doing.
I see, okay. Does the United Church have to give approval for satellite churches or is that purely at the ministers discretion?

Under a review does not in and of itself change one's status (sometimes when one is under a review one is also suspended, depending on circumstances). The one change a review does trigger is that while the review is still incomplete you are not eligible for call or appointment to a new pastoral relationship.

never at the minister's discretion...it would at the very least be a congregational decision. AFAIK the PResbytery would need to sign off on a satellite site just as they do for a new congregation (because in essence a sateellite site is forming a new congregation within the same PAstoral Charge)

I haven't talked to anyone from Applewood United for awhile ~ I'm pretty sure Applewood's Board cancelled the Westhill satellite relationship fairly quickly.
Neighboring churches? You mean if someone wanted to plant a new United Church they'd have to consult first with the Catholics, Methodists, Presbyterians...?
