2016 and My Relationship with the Human Sexuality Report
In 2016 I was a delegate to CRC Synod. I had only been an Elder for less than a year; a Christian for 16 years and frankly I had no idea what I was doing. I was only selected for Synod because no one else put their name forward so my husband (via text) message said to do it. Looking back at that Synod, I can say I learned a lot. Being a Canadian, I didn't understand what was going on parliamentary (watching numerous American Congress/Senate hearings, I now understand). I was naïve. I had hope that good things would come. I will admit that I did have a lot of fun. I was the Canadian Bible Study (underhanded understanding of going for drinks after session) Queen, with my own 5 minute sermon on the Jesus being a good son (one day I'll type that out). I made friends and I watched. I watched as men from Classis Minnkota stood up on the first day and declared that women should not be delegates. I watched as 2 African American women from Classis Hackensack shared their stores
