It was my experience that the pastor of a small church saved and tried to tie the GA into a vacation. Lot of folks degraded that, but not everyone can afford these hotel and food prices. It would be nice it some electronic means would open to the guy who cannot attend. T'would change the complexion of the votes immensely. As a motor home dweller, I am always amazed when some mentions $100+ a night for a bed. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]://shipslog-jack.blogspot.com/

I've looked thru out Nashville and even up to 20 miles away ... very few rooms under $100.00 then taxes and fees apply with some up to over $500.00. It will be hard to travel that far to attend all the business and worship sessions plus parking fees, food, etc. Yes, most pastors from smaller churches do have to absorb some of the expense. They would like to attend and should be able to. Surely, a more affordable place could have been chosen. Most churches have a state prayer conference, a state camp meeting, and then the General Assembly this coming year.

Maybe as far as the Hdq is concerned but look at the numbers in Georgia Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com

I hope that is not the reason they scheduled it in Nashville to TRY to change peoples' mind having an Assembly every 2 years. HOPE it will not be back on the agenda for a vote as it was a loud vote against a 4 year one.

I dont think there was a plot to use Nashville to get a 4 yr assembly passed; I just think the people who made this decision are in Tennessee, so it is to their advantage in many ways.

We have always enjoyed the General Assembly ...the business sessions, worship services, fellowship..... thankful that it's family oriented...... . We are lay people and have attended every GA since 1966 ..only had factory jobs but saved and did what we had to do to be able to attend... sometimes having to only attend a few days due to finances. This one just seems to be the hardest to plan for to us. Yet, planning to attend as much as possible with registration costs being $129.00.

For those of you who feel the need and have a desire to attend the GA. I hope you get to go.I think Nashville will be a good place for it Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com
