REPORTS & DECISIONS Spiritual Companions: Marjory Servant Leadership Team (SLT) Review for Dave Lloyd: Deborah Dave spoke briefly about his desire to work out of his gifts rather than the need for more pastoral care which he sees coming for the SLT. He cited an early visit (with Fred & Sonya) to John Westerhoff at Duke, who recommended that a healthy spiritual community has three groupings: children (for a vision of the future), adults (practical action) and elders (for institutional memory). Others responded with specific appreciation for the gifts he has offered to the SLT. Defining a CALL for another member of the SLT will begin immediately. Volunteers are: Proposal for Handling Negative Feedback – Deborah Citing some negative feedback received during the review process, Deborah asked for a formal procedure to handle criticism or complaints from the community. All agreed that Stewards hold that responsibility, and the appropriate “vessel” would be the officers of our legal corporation. They are: President – Keith Vice-president – Deborah Secretary – Dave Treasurer — Marjory Pastoral Concerns – no notes Steward sharing – John Soul talk concluded our meeting. –Notes by Marjory Bankson 6/6/20232023 June Stewards Minutes
