| IF GA is cancelled and Terms are extended its over for the COG. This will be a brake of the minutes and bylaws. Fundamentally the organization will be open to lawsuit and defunct. It doesnot matter what people want or what is convenient. The bylaws must be followed. The 18 better not drop the ball on this just to keep some guys in office Hate to say it, but its trueNew Orleans Bred, Mississippi Led, Hopefully Arizona will be home before I'm dead. |

| The sky is falling! The sky is falling!How about we show some faith in our leaders and pray for them instead?Desperate times call for desperate measures. I would imagine there is a lot of trepidation about travel to another state with people from around the world. I can't imagine the US will open up meetings of 10,000 people or more by then, anyhow More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name |

| Carolyn... The Big race is happening in Indianapolis around the same time as the assembly. A week or two after. GA is a tiny gathering compared to most athletic events and even some concerts and so on.Darrell... The U.S. will not be closed down in July. Besides that. If they postpone it to late in the year nothing could probably be said. If they just cancel it and wait two years they will be breaking the bylaws without good reason Hate to say it, but its trueNew Orleans Bred, Mississippi Led, Hopefully Arizona will be home before I'm dead. |

| It's a shame COG folks generally don't gamble, someone could make some real money betting against this outcome. |

| Post subject: | Aaron Scott: Some commonsense thoughts... |
| I don't think anyone in the Church of God would be all outraged about postponing the General Assembly under such circumstances. While my state may not be on lockdown, other states may still be.Further, some folks have been off of work with no paycheck, and it is simply not going to be at all affordable to go to the General Assembly. At the same time, some businesses have been shut down for a good while now, and they are not going to want people going on vacation right when its time to finally get back to work!In my over half-a-century in the Church of God, I have never known of a bad General Overseer. I'm sure that people closer to the action have seen the flaws or shortcomings in them all, but as far as the larger Church of God, it's going to be fine with us if Tim Hill continues for another two years. Besides, we were almost certainly going to reelect him anyway. He's done and is doing a good job. If the Church of God wants to have this unusual situation count against term limits, fine. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm good if we just keep on chugging along until the next General Assembly and not make it count against anyone. In the future, we may face situations where we simply cannot meet. Gas costs could be prohibitive. Terrorism. Pandemics. Whatever. What then? We need to add to the Minutes a clause that, under circumstances that are clearly prohibitive, and after consulting with all state offices--and after the state offices have consulted with at least 60% of state pastors--the Executive level will make a decision as to whether to hold the General Assembly or not, and/or whether to hold it using other means of voting (e.g., mail-in, electronic, etc.), and/or whether to rely solely upon the vote of the General Council in such times, etc. |

| Someone does not under stand contract negotiation. Why is so many people including council of 18 and executive committe talking about postponement when they have not secured a release from the contract. Now Indy just has to sit back and wait for us to cancel and keep our money. Grate preachers are not always grate business people Hate to say it, but its trueNew Orleans Bred, Mississippi Led, Hopefully Arizona will be home before I'm dead. |
