During our recent Committee on Ministry A (COM A) meeting, a new standing rule was adopted to streamline the review and decision-making process for documents submitted for our consideration. This new rule will help ensure sufficient preparation and efficiency in addressing essential matters.

Standing Rule:

Effective immediately, all documents to be considered by COM A concerning Member in Discernment (MID), Transfer of Standing, Privilege of Call, and 3 or 4-Way Covenants documentation must be submitted to the Chair and the Associate Conference Minister (ACM) at least two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting date.

This change will allow committee members to thoroughly review the materials and come prepared for meaningful discussion and timely decisions.

Thank you for your attention to this important update. Please don't hesitate to contact me or the Chair if you have any questions or need clarification about this new process.
