The Standing Committee For Appreciation of Kris

[highlyeccentric]

Quis has enquired as to why the uniting church machinery in newcastle has suddenly developed a great concern for him.

It is necessary to uncover the existence of the Standing Committee For Appreciation of Kris (well, not uncover, this is the Uniting Church and there are committees for everything).
The Minutes of the first meeting of the Standing Committee respectfully acknowledge that there are two points of view on Kris, and diverse standpoints on what to do with him. Their aims as a Standing Committe are to appropriately care for Kris, to determine the importance of Kris to the Uniting Church and its members, and to encourage dialouge between those who appreciate Kris, and dissidents such as the Alliance of Kris Haters.
The Standing Committee in subesquent meetings have formed the Task Group for Finding Out What's Wrong and the Panel for Suggesting Solutions- their activities are what has alerted Kris to their existence.
The Standing Committee however has faced great turmoil from within, largely coming from the Board for Leaving Kris Alone, who believe that they should, well, leave Kris alone. Despite this the Task Group have ploughed ahead, using their chosen weapons of Minnie and passionfruit cake.
The Alliance of Kris Haters, incensed by this, have begun talks with the Board for Leaving Kris Alone. What the outcome of this may be, only time will tell.

It may be party my fault, because I keep going back for more punishment. Alas, time will tell.

indeed it is. that's the great lesson of uniting church life- you're a sucker for punishment.

What about those who were voted onto the committee who don't particularly care what happens - which is why they were voted on.

most of them have joined the Board for Leaving Kris Alone, on the grounds that then the Standing Committee can be disbanded.
