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. Information meeting on this remit at St. David's on October 19th at 10:00 a.m. Remit 1 will be
voted on by your church board at their next meeting.
