We have our first church voting ‘nay’ on the Unity Proposal. Actually, this is the first church I know that has published a decision at all. I assume that Los Angelos, Chicago, San Antonio, New York, and Hampton Roads will endorse it because a leader of those churches helped draft the plan in the first place.

So, it has started. I do not believe that this is an isolated incident, although others that vote ‘nay’ making a public statement may be rare. I also believe that it will be a somewhat rare event that a ‘yes’ vote will be on a church’s website, namely because the list of ascenting congregations will be listed on DToday.
