Family talk
On November 4, at the close of Year-end meetings of the North American Division
leaders, an interesting document was issued: a Statement on Civil Discourse. In
other words, a set of guidelines on how to talk to each other, a reminder of how to
keep a conversation in community without rupturing relationships in the Body of
Christ.
Reflecting on the recent interactions I had at the Church Board, School Board, and
other committees, it is very important for us to follow these simple Biblical principles:
1) We resolve to encourage expressions of disagreement that are honest and open
based upon a sincere desire to arrive at truth as expressed in Scripture and the Spirit
of Prophecy;
2) We resolve to first communicate with those with whom we disagree and listen nonjudgmentally to their positions so that we can represent those positions accurately
before critiquing them;
3) We resolve to avoid the use of sarcasm, cartoons, anecdotes, parody or any other
form of insinuation to diminish the reputation or personhood of others;
4) We resolve to refrain from sponsoring or countenancing online or offline dialogue
that vilifies or depreciates the good name of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in
general or the reputations of its individual members in particular
We, therefore, resolve to avoid participating in, or being party to, all forms of
unhealthy and demeaning discourse. Our aim is to govern our communication
according to the high standards of Christian conduct found in the guidelines this
statement so that God may be glorified in all we say and do.
My paraphrase to the Board members was: (1) do not assume and take others as
sincere and honest as you are; (2) face to face is a must if you got a question, to
make sure you understand; (3) NO sarcasmperiod! (4) No gossip (speaking
negatively about person not present).
We must learn politics not from Canadian Parliament debates, where questions in an
accusative manner thrown across the aisle, and leaders flung statements offensively,
but from Jesus, who said let it not be so among you! (Matthew 20:25-28), and if
you have a question to someone, do not wait to throw it publically at the Board
meeting, but ask them in person first, and if you do not understand their position, take
a mutual friend to seek further dialogue for understanding, only when you are
persuaded that the person is against you then go to a council. Just imagine for a
moment how this Matthew 18:15-17 principle would transform our meetings. If you
think that someone acted wrong, out of turn, or made a wrong decision, do not
embarrass them with a public confrontation, but speak with them face-to-face. It is a
basic Christian courtesy.
North American Church president Dan Jackson asked that we seek higher ground
during these challenging times. I invite you to take this reminder to heart, and in
lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself or herself, and do
nothing in selfish ambition or conceit (Philippians 2:3). Eugene Petersons Message
paraphrase puts it this way (verses1-4) If youve gotten anything at all out of following
Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the
Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care then do me a favor:
Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Dont push your way
to the front; dont sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others
get ahead. Dont be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves
long enough to lend a helping hand.

your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
