The Listening Tours which began in February have all been completed and the collation of the responses has begun. As soon as the response forms data have been entered and the session transcripts have been completed, a summary will be posted on the Internet of the responses received and issues and concerns raised. I hope to have this material available by May 1. The major issues that surfaced during the Listening Tours included: Need for Resources, Accountability, Communication, Women in Ministry, and Connectivity.
