In our WPC Weekly Update and WPC Session Updates over the last few months, we have referred to two “Adhoc” committees, created by Session, to implement recommendations from the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center report, which was shared with Session late last year. This report highlighted opportunities for improvement in communication and conflict resolution.

In response, a new feedback process has been developed called “Session Connection.” This process has been developed as a direct communication channel to Session for all church members, office staff, pastoral staff, preschool, or anyone who would like to share something with Session.

The intent is to provide a seamless communication method that is transparent and enables the Ruling Elders of Session to ensure efficiency in addressing feedback and/or conflicts. In addition to general feedback, this process includes an avenue for confidential feedback, as well as guidelines for conflict resolution.
