I cant believe this thread is still going. seems to me the short answer should have been "not much"
I grew up in a church that was always very much connected to the UPCI on the national stage. My home church produced A. T. Morgan, T. F. Tenny. Geroge Glass Sr. and a whole host of others that have served as presbytors and teachers in our colleges and sectional leaders and Youth Division Heads. and now a former pastor is an Executive Presbytor.
NEVER in my life do I remember ANY pastor getting up and telling the church about what went on in the business meetings.
I am friends with the current pastor there, and he intends to run Ads for the church. He has not had open discussions with the church about what has gone on in the business meetings.
The idea that this should happen, or that some trust is violated when a pastor doesnt share what is happening in the GC Business Meetings is just plain silly.
