#MassChurchesQuestions that I still have:1. If not a council of mid-level judicatories, than what is
the institutional/stable expression of Christian Unity?2. How do we move from crisis response to longer term
planning?3. What to do about our witness on Beacon Hill?4. What to do about interfaith dialogues?5. How to talk about the movement between
denominations in a non-competative way? 6. How do we truly get to joint
staffing/programming/mission between the denominations?
