October Council of Delegates Highlights
The council of delegates, which acts on behalf of the Christian Reformed Church in North America when synod is not in session, met Oct. 13-15 by video conference.
During this time, representatives from every classis in the denomination made several key decisions related to Synod 2022, finances, search committees for key leadership roles, and establishing a culture of civility. They also participated in a diversity engagement session led by members of the CRC Office of Race Relations and learned about a year-of-prayer initiative leading up to Synod 2022.
A few key highlights:

In addition, search committees and processes were approved regarding a few key leadership roles.
