The Coop-Group report was well received, but there was a push to abolish the ERLC. The author found the resolutions unnecessary and highlighted the fellowship and family experience as the highlights of the event.

A Prayer for Unity

Grant us the ability to detach from ourselves in order to see the bigger picture. Give us the boldness to speak against sin and injustice of any kind.
