Thanks for these reflections this morning, Andrew. The kind of institutional relationships you have outlined/suggested resonate with me. The key principle or melody line to which I aspire to attune myself is that of God's forgiving and reconciling love made most manifest in Jesus Christ and summoning us to be ambassadors of that energy through the workings of the Holy Spirit. That's a paraphrase of 2 Cor 5:19-21 and the core of the tradition around which Canadian Presbyterians innovate (at our best!). Blessings, as always, for your provocations.
