Our RA is engaged in a multi-year process to create a Membership Brit that will be a values-based, covenantal articulation of our shared life as an Assembly, offering a framework for colleagues to lean on one another and ask for help when it’s needed. The Membership Brit Task Force began its work in June 2025 and is approximately six months into a two-year timeline.

The Task Force is chaired by our colleagues David Ackerman, Megan GoldMarche and Jeremy Wiederhorn, and is organized into three subcommittees, each addressing a core area of membership:
