I don;t think we thought the three recommendations to be contradictory. I'll have to go back and look at them again.Benjamin Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16983772163162004808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22103379.post-71338527005124981742012-06-28T07:59:03.495-07:002012-06-28T07:59:03.495-07:00JOB: I have seen them, but have not read either on...JOB: I have seen them, but have not read either one. I have heard good things about the Venema book, but I think the Waters-Duncan book is brand new. <br />James Hakim: I think presbytery could do that. In Calvary Presbytery, this is always a slot that they had a hard time filling. Three years ago, I volunteered. You might try volunteering.Benjamin Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16983772163162004808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22103379.post-46826296720520898452012-06-28T07:04:49.533-07:002012-06-28T07:04:49.533-07:00I think that the confusing thing to the commission...I think that the confusing thing to the commissioners was that the answer of the RPR committee to two of the presbyteries seemed to contradict its answer to the third. This was where the word 'harmonious' was misunderstood in Fred's motion. I took it as Fred saying, "could we at least get three recommendations that don't contradict each other?" -- and not necessarily that they would all say the same things, or that there wouldn't be a minority report.<br /><br />As to your stating that it takes a special kind of elder, I have been trying to get on RPR for two years, but it always gets assigned to someone else, who is always then providentially hindered. As you understand it, may a presbytery designate an 'alternate' so that if such providential hindrance does in fact occur, I could go?JNHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071705574141739175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22103379.post-89212707978123997822012-06-28T07:00:16.806-07:002012-06-28T07:00:16.806-07:00Ben, have you seen the book on paedo-communion edi...Ben, have you seen the book on paedo-communion edited by Guy Waters and Lig Duncan or the book by Cornelis Venema? If so, what is your take on them? Are they sufficient answers to this issue?JOBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745101412264093530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22103379.post-85955542353210180682012-06-28T06:58:41.545-07:002012-06-28T06:58:41.545-07:00Ben,
