<Proposed amended resolution text showing exact changes being made:>
j. The Officers of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society and the Officers of the Executive Council, and a committee of six members of Executive Council who are not officers, shall engage in a mutual ministry review every eighteen months, to be completed not later than twelve months before the next scheduled General Convention. The mutual ministry review shall be facilitated by a consultant selected by the Chair and the Vice-Chair.
Explanation
Resolution 2022-A047 was referred to the Commission. The Commission recommended specifying the completion date for the mutual ministry review. By adding the deadline as “not later than twelve months before the next scheduled General Convention” it provides the specificity for the reviews that are not impacted by changes in dates to General Convention.
