ANOTHER CHURCH MEETING
|
|
Since the Church has asked the Council for advice that is relevant to whether or
not the Church will proceed with an ordination or installation, provision must be
made for receiving that advice. If the results of the Council are positive, the
Church need not hold a special meeting but provision for a meeting should be
made in the planning. In the event that there is a negative response, it is
incumbent upon the Church to hold a special meeting to hear the result and to
respond to it.
The best order would be for the Church to have scheduled a special meeting to
follow, as soon as possible, the meeting of the Council. If the result has been
favorable, the meeting only needs to hear that report and be adjourned. If
negative, the Church has the opportunity for a prompt response.
There must be a planned time for a special meeting of the Church between the
time of the Council and the scheduled public service. Here is another reason for
scheduling the public service no sooner than one week following the Council.
