Caucuses

Apparently, a big spanner in the wheel of the election of a Republican Speaker is the House Freedom Caucus. In many Churches, caucuses are explicitly banned in the constitution -- the House Freedom Caucus arguably shows why. A Church in which I ministered for ten years, in Gqeberha, today bans caucuses in the constitution. Caucuses were also banned in my city ministry, where I was for a cumulative 20+ years. This was by resolution, on the basis of the constitution. OBSERVATION: In the Congregational Church, caucuses tend to ruin the spiritual dynamic, and thus the "power" of the Church.
