Over the last several years, it has become increasingly apparent that the roles and duties of the three primary Assembly Committees (Administrative, Biblical Doctrine and Polity, Finance and Stewardship) needed to be better defined and articulated to avoid occasional confusion or overlapping of functions. These three Committees are referred to as "Standing Committees" because the nature and influence of their work is ongoing even when Assemblies are not in session. These Committees require enormous time, effort, and cooperation to carry out their assigned functions as well as to provide the best possible ministry they can to this body. In an effort to help clarify the Church policy regarding these various Committees, the General Presbyters have expressed their support for the Assembly Committee for Biblical Doctrine and Polity to define both the role and duties of these three Assembly "Standing Committees" appointed by the General Overseer of the Church of God of Prophecy. We humbly submit these clarifications based upon research of past rulings concerning these Committees and the intent seen in their origin. We offer these observations and recommendations: |
||||
| Definition of an Assembly "Standing Committee" | ||||
| 1. | A Committee appointed at the Assembly by the General Overseer after consultation with the General Presbyters. The final decision will be left to the General Overseer. |
|||
| 2. | A Committee that functions on an ongoing basis with meetings outside the Assembly. |
|||
| 3. | A Committee that gives a report to the Assembly for their consideration and response. |
|||
| 4. | A Committee that has a global scope or sphere of influence in this Church. |
