Proposals: On November 5th at 7pm, we will host a “Proposal Review” to look at any proposals brought forth to be presented at our Fall Business Meeting for approval.
Here is a Brief Primer on Process for General Council 45: Individuals, communities of faith, networks, and clusters of the United Church may submit a proposal to their respective Regional Council for consideration. The Regional Councils will then take ownership of the proposal, with full ability to make revisions and changes, and either forward it to General Council with agreement or disagreement (providing rationale why the Regional Council is sending a proposal with which it disagrees) or by taking no action at this time.
Proposals for the General Council address issues of denominational responsibility that go beyond the bounds of regional councils. The following guide provides fuller detail and sample wording for the Proposal Template. Once you are ready to proceed, you can download the Proposal Template from our website. Deadline for proposals is October 27th at 11:59pm.
