The Moravians -- some of them -- have a tradition for selecting members of the church boards and other offices; this is called "the lot". If 2 or more people are nominated for a single office, the names are written down on pieces of paper, placed in a container, and the name of the person selected is drawn out.
What can these Moravians be thinking?
Do they really suppose, in this age of rationalism and science, that God stoops down to intervene in the physical process of drawing a name out of a hat?
Well, no. I don't mean that everyone would unanimously reject such an interpretation, but that possibility is not the basis for maintaining the tradition.
The rational basis for such a tradition lies in the recognition that a member in good standing, who in good faith is named for office by another member and who willingly agrees to serve in that role, is an excellect choice for election.
It may be that 2 or more excellect choices are proposed. In actual reality, is it of much consequence which one of these people is selected? No; they are all excellect candidates. In this light, it is entirely rational for these Moravians to give up the divisiveness and hurt feelings which can come from an election. What matters most is not which of 2 good candidates is somehow "better" than another.
Does God care which of 2 willing Christians takes on a particular role in the governance of a local congregation? Quite possibly not. God does care that whichever person is selected works with the rest of the congregation during the rest of the year to discern and act upon the will of God.
In actual reality, isn't that also the responsibility of any person who was not selected? All the people whose names were put forth should expect to work with the rest of the congregation to discern and adopt God's will. All the people who were not named should expect to do the same.
Truly, the question of which person takes on specific organizational tasks on behalf of the congregation is a trivial matter. For such a small question, speech making and vote counting and arguing about rules and procedures are unnecessary distractions from what really matters: community with each other and with God.
I can't say with certainty that this is what these Moravians are thinking when they agree to use "the lot". If it is, can you help but admire them?
