The suppression of useful information (in this case, from whence an idea or set of ideas derives) in any kind of a legislative process is inherently undemocratic. Those "in the know" insiders in the WELS will still have some idea of who supports which memorials (or who contributed, if more than three did)--the new practice merely makes that knowledge more vague for the insiders, and nearly inaccessible for the lay delegates.<br /><br />I hope that the policy is revised before the next convention.<br /><br />To that end, is anyone interested in getting together (or simply joining me on) a memorial supporting a revision of the policy?<br /><br />Mr. Joseph JewellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
