From Call to Settlement |
|
by Lloyd M. Hall, Jr. |
Roll Call for Public Questioning
|
|
|
After the paper is presented, the Council Moderator, with the
assistance of the Scribe, will call the roll again. Each participating
Church, in the person of each of its representatives, will be given
the opportunity to ask questions. The schedule should allow ample
time for multiple and follow-up questions. After the Churches have
had their turn, the Moderator will normally offer the same
opportunity to the honorary members and guests present. The
purpose of this questioning is not to "trip up" the candidate or to
argue. The questioning is for the purpose of elaboration and
clarification. There may be questions that flow from something
presented in the paper - or not presented in the paper. Questions
may ask about specific approaches to specific Church problems or
challenges. There may be an effort to learn more about where the
candidate stands on theological or social issues. This is an
enriching and stimulating time that challenges us to know where
we stand and to defend that position. So long as the responses lie
within the broad spectrum of Christianity in the Congregational
Way they do not become issues of potential disqualification.
