There are 17 committees for the 218th GA and, for the first time, two of them will have no parlimentary business. Committee 16 and 17 will be charged with "generative thinking". I looked up "generative". It is the adj meaning "to bring into existence". That is, we have 2 committees out of the 17 who are charged to bring thinking into existence. One would think they could shoot a little higher than that.
Committee 16 is titled "Worship and Spiritual Renewal". Committee 17 is titled "Youth".
Both of these subjects deserve some serious "thinking" but who are the commissioners charged with doing it? Do they know anything about worship or youth? Do they care?
The answer is they are randomly selected and therefore, if they have any interest in these subjects at all it will be purely accidental.
So we have put our strategic thinking into the hands of a group of people who don't have any specific knowledge of the subject and may not even care.
The Presbyterian way.

We can't read the posts with "Write your Title Here" as the title.
Still not working - the problem is that the Spahr and 218 posts got a URL with WriteYourTitleHere because there was no title at the time they were posted. That matches a post with the same problem from April so when you click the link you go to the April post.
I'd repost those two from scratch with a title.
