what's big in my committee - #16 (worship)

I thought I would pick a conversation starter (hopefully) with my fellow commissioners.

What committee are you on and what do you think are some key overtures/issues coming before your committee. (Who knows, it might even help the rest of us sort through the 100's of pages to focus in on key stuff!)

I am assigned to committee #16 - worship and spiritual renewal. So far, we only have two pieces of business. Both of them seem pretty non-controversial. One is a statement that we are brothers and sisters in Christ (and inviting the moderator to remind us of that regularly). The other is an invitation to churches to experience a "solemn assembly" - a prayer meeting modeled on Old Testament prayer gatherings, for the purpose of worship and spiritual renewal.

The other interesting piece to committee #16 (and 17), as I understand it, is that these two "added" committees are going to use the consensus model of decision making and share with the rest of the Assembly how that goes. That should give me something unique and interesting to blog about the first few days!
