@KathyKerns
Kathy. Thank you for pointing to your proposed amendment, which was not included in many earlier lists of amendments centered on the seven principles. I believe 17 (20%) of the 85 amendments proposed by June 5 included some version of the seven principles. Please let me know if I miss any such proposed amendments in the categorization below:
Five amendments including this one were nearly identical and included the principles for historical context, which is a formulation that does not work for me, since it has the unintended effect of minimizing their importance to so many of us:
#58 Patrick Deak
#59 Lurine DeVos
#61 Jan Radoslovic
#66 Pablo deVos-Deak
#84 Becky Sandman
Seven included yours modified and expanded the seven principles to address some of the most significant critiques of the current articulation of the principles and include language aligned with the eighth principle. I support including something along the lines of one of these in a revised article II and hope we can discuss and vote on at least one of these in the mini-assembly:
#10 Kathy Kearns
#41 Dick Burckhart
#49 Julie Welch
#78 Marsha Bates
#79 Chris Stotler
#83 Linda Richardson
#85 Lynn Wagner
Five amendments proposed including the principles in their current form without addressing the eighth principle and our evolution as a denomination or placing them in their historical context. I do not support these amendments and suggest that anyone holding this view simply vote no to continuing the Article II revision process:
#2 - Kenneth Button
#3 - Eric Burch
#9 - Merridy McDaniel
#29 Jim Hall
#44 Nancy Henley
