Help
Shape the Future of the United Church
Learn
about and then voice your opinion on the remits that are now before
the church. It is vitally important that the governing body of every
pastoral charge and presbytery cast a vote on all applicable remits.
An absolute majority is needed for the remits to pass, not just a
majority of those that vote. If passed by an absolute majority, each
remit will go to the 43rd General Council 2018 for approval. If a
governing body of a pastoral charge or presbytery does not vote, that
is considered a vote AGAINST the remit question.
Study
documents for Remit 1: Three Council Model have been circulated in
September with viewing of the United Church webinar at St. Mark’s
on October 5th at 7:00 p.m. Remit 1 will be voted on by your church
board at their November meeting.
