A number of the voting members are speaking to the issue of trust when addressing Recommendation 2 and its amendments. Do we trust those who wrote these recommendations to know better than we do because they spent so much time on them and we have not? Do we trust pastors to make appropriate decisions regarding pastoral care for their members?
Well....no. I voted in support of Recommendation 2 at the Florida Bahamas Synod Assembly, if I remember correctly. I never dreamed that the wording was being interpreted by many people as permission to perform same sex blessings. I think the ambiguity was intentional. As for trusting pastors, some I do, some I don't.
