"It's all about the process," I hear, over and over again, from my oldline comrades.

This is a familiar refrain amongst us Presbyterians in particular, from pretty much every corner of the fading denominational churches. We gather to discuss. We meet to talk. We convene and review and analyze and evaluate. We make process our goal. And we assume, as we take forever to do anything, that this is all well and good, because it's the process that counts.

This just ain't right.
