ARE WE EXPECTING CHANGES AFTER ASC 2012 AGM?

With members in full force in a non-election year was interesting to mark a history of the millennium and outcry of our voices must be heard!

ASC’s 2012 AGM lasted longer than 5hours packed with members stayed back with participation eagerly wanted to see an end to the current management structure has been a lack of clarity, all under the manipulation of one man.  Most members expected Bishop Albert Vun appear in person to chair the ASC’s 2012 AGM coming forward for public apologies as how he had conducted himself in the previous AGM. 

Members did not expect Bishop Vun to be silent, absent himself conveniently and deeply buried underground the issues in the blog.  If he thinks he is innocent with the issues raised, the greatest defence was to come forward to explain himself clean and reconcile with the people.  If he truly loves the church, why then he has avoided us?  Why only defended from the pulpit where nobody else can speak to challenge?

The Rector’s self-made rules at the proceeding of the meeting were very much like Bishop’s Vun style not to raise issues on personal attack.  Anyone tried to mention abusiveness of one man's power? Not allowed by the chairman!  How else can you address the issues if you want to say it? We see how manipulative they appear in large meetings like AGM how else can you imagine meetings in the PCC that our voices have always been represented in minority?

Was there a trick to swap the sequence of the 2 resolutions intentionally knowing the first resolutions required 2/3 majority?  The meeting dragged on until 8pm surely some people would have left to attend children at home.

Whether there was integrity in the scrutiny of voting for the 1st resolution of crying out for fairness in the decision making, it is seen rather an obvious manipulation of a “one man show”.  This problem remained unresolved if the elected PCC can never carry a fair voice in the decision making.  We must not let this issue unresolved.
