In this paper I have attempted to reflect on my personal experience of growing up in the RLDS/Community of Christ in Latin America and share some current experiences as I now serve the church in Latin America. I will share some broad ideas, but will also center my reflections on the area of common consent and decision making. I must acknowledge that my perspective is shaped by the fact that I am a white, North American male, from an upper middle class background and I am really an outsider when it comes to Latin American culture and society. I share my reflections without judgment toward any person or culture. [From the article]
