NOTICE OF DECEMBER 2021 REVISION TO SPECIAL RULES OF ORDER OF GENERAL COUNCIL AND OTHER SECTIONS IN THE C&MA MANUAL

Per legislation adopted by General Council, the Board of Directors submitted two recommendations to the Committee on Rules for action, pertaining to (1) moving the responsibility for certification of evangelists and ministers-at-large from the National Office to the districts, and (2) replacing “Senior Pastor” with “Lead Pastor” throughout the C&MA Manual. General Council 2021 had adopted other recommendations taking the first action item but missed updating the lists under Article V, Section 5.2, Delegate Certification Signatures, sections C and D (pages A3-5-7), in the Special Rules of Order in the C&MA Manual. Both of these items were deemed to be routine and editorial amendments, and not of a substantive nature. As required, notice was given to delegates via the website from November 3–December 3, 2021. Following the notice period, the Committee on Rules unanimously adopted the recommendations. These revisions have been made to the C&MA Manual and will be reported to 2023 General Council. Please direct any questions to the Office of the Corporate Secretary at [email protected].
