One surprise at the Disciples’ General Assembly in July was the failure to pass Resolution #0925, “A Call to Action.” The resolution would have changed the way the church handles sense-of-the-assembly resolutions. Citing past controversial votes on topics such as war and sexual orientation — votes that cast light on painful divisions in the fellowship — proponents hoped the new proposal for making moral and ethical statements would offer better education on the issues and reduce the number of resolutions.
