I wasn't quite sure what we are meant to be doing with/to the strategic review document; especially in the timescales set for the finance part. Given that the first time we had seen the document was with the Synod papers, it would be pretty unlikely that anyone would have had a chance to discuss it at vestry, never mind at congregational ore regional council level. And anyway, if I was a Lay rep, i would want to feedback to my congregation the discussion at Synod before coming to any common mind and conclusions. wrt the Marriage Liturgy, there must be something wrong with the process (or people's understanding of the process) for us to get so far down the road with a document and people claim that they haven't been able to discuss the thinking behind it.
