This Council ruling report/faq says nothing of the current dilemma caused of the new requirement that missionary spouses must complete full deaconess academic requirements in order that their husbands can continue their foreign missionary calling and status.

That ruling appears to be an unnecessary disruptive and detrimental force in driving men out of their fields or forcing them to secure support outside of synod's foreign administration in order to continue their calling.

If there has been a public response to that concern I missed it.

What's the deal?
