“Representation is not simply having more diversity in gatherings, but discerning in such a way that a multiplicity of voices can be heard,” said the Rev. Eric Thomas, co-moderator of the General Assembly Committee on Representation (GACOR).
Thomas was talking about the committee’s process observation during the last General Assembly, when its members moved between assembly spaces, observing discernment and decision making in committees and plenaries. He could also have been summarizing a core principle of all GACOR’s ministry.
