@ryanburge To continue to represent the 'reply guys,' we are the Presbyterian Church in* America.

@djcimino When you say "outside of normal corporate worship" are you saying they do it apart from corporate worship or just not at the normal Sunday morning corporate service?

@CAHutch1990 I have one in my truck I used just this week.

Nothing like spending a day at a baseball game with the boys on Memorial Day weekend.

@johnandrewwords @stephenspin Flood of sensory memories.

@Jacob_A_Webb @jeretics @SEdburg @PolityMatters Indeed.

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@Jacob_A_Webb @jeretics @SEdburg @PolityMatters 2. In the month between now and General Assembly commissioners will have over 1000 pages to review. Adding nearly 300 more pages so they can make an informed consideration, on top of being pastors, elders, fathers, and sons seems unreasonable.

@Jacob_A_Webb @jeretics @SEdburg @PolityMatters 1. The assembly asked the Study committee to do the work, if the committee wanted to commend that book it was free to do so.

@jeretics @SEdburg @PolityMatters How long does it take too say, "Burn it with fire?"

@sdesocio Also few teams are mobilized within 72 hours of a disaster. Usually there is an assessment team and advice to immediate churches, but most teams are told to wait until things are safe, secured, and work is set up.

This report only enhances the concerns I have had about the direction and focus of MNA.

The interim coordinator of MNA provides an update on changes and growth over the past year. https://t.co/aJGu31OSpl

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@sdesocio How do you mobilize teams to non existent disasters? MNA DR doesn't train teams according to state agency guidelines?

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@thebocollins It doesn't apply to planters and planting networks. I called and asked.

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@thebocollins And to whatever extent you're right about serial planting, presbyteries have hurt themselves in going along with it and not providing sufficient oversight. I think another denominational entity is guilty of the same.

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@JamminChad Paul was pointing to the outcomes accomplished by Christ. He was not using Church Growth Movement principles to determine budgetary allocations. There's a big difference between noses and nickels versus trusting God to bring about the desired outcome from faithful service.

@Fozzybear_Lives I appreciate your opinions which you are free to have and express.

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@Fozzybear_Lives "Only enhances" means, it corroborates/sharpens what I already thought. Confirms what pre-existed. I don't have confidential information. But if I did I am not obliged to share any more than SJC is obliged to share the minutes of trial that back up their public judgment.

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@Fozzybear_Lives Who says I don't have other information, that I am basing it solely on one written report?

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@Fozzybear_Lives I have concerns about how the resources are being managed now. The report seems primarily focused on finances not prayer. I am not saying that MNA doesn't care about prayer at all.

[Ian Hard @RevIanHard]

@sdesocio How do you outcome base Disaster Response? We budget responding to 10 natural disasters. Whelp there were only 4 so way to not meet your objectives.
