Dull and dependable - yes, I am ready for that! It seems to me the secret to this system is that they are very careful about who becomes a nominee. Our political system could, and should, use that as a guiding force.
Mary, count me in for change. My childhood church, the small rural Buck Creek Methodist Church, had an informal method. The members took turns serving as Sunday School Superintendent, teachers, and other roles by consensus and a shared sense of responsibility.
I love this mix of democracy and chance. I've often thought that people's fascination with playing cards has to do with the mix of luck and skill. I've had a shoulder injury this spring and haven't been able to do any work in the garden yet. Instead I walk around everyday and gaze in wonder at the choices the plants have made, life has made, which I never could have predicted. Yes, Swander, let's change the system!
Good point, Mary. Upon reflection, our small congregation leads in many ways within the larger church, in our community, and -especially my generation - throughout the country with a sense of service and humility.

That’s right. Nominees are clear leaders and have the intelligence, stamina and personality for the job.
Lovely. Dull has its merits and peace and service are needed everywhere.
Thanks, Suzanna!

Now there’s an easy way to create leadership.

Thanks, Elizabeth. Swander is here ready for a change.
