title: Mennonite Congregational Consensus
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A Mennonite practice of seeking congregational consensus through
|
|
prayerful discussion and discernment, without voting. Rooted in the
|
|
Anabaptist tradition of communal discernment and pacifist commitment.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Frame in worship
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The congregation frames the decision in prayer and scripture,
|
|
recognising it as a matter of communal discernment, not preference.
|
|
- headline: Open discussion
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Members share their views and concerns openly, with a moderator
|
|
ensuring that all voices — including the marginal — are heard.
|
|
- headline: Seek the mind of Christ
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The moderator names the emerging sense of the congregation, testing
|
|
whether it reflects a shared discernment rather than a majority.
|
|
- headline: Confirm or hold
|
|
description: >-
|
|
If the congregation can unite, the decision is confirmed. If not, the
|
|
matter is held for further prayer and discussion rather than voted
|
|
through.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A decision is made that the congregation can unite behind, or held until
|
|
such unity emerges, without overriding dissent.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The discipline is not to vote when unity is absent. Holding a matter is
|
|
not failure — it is the form respecting the discernment. |
