|
Resolution 2006-A153: Task Force II shall be charged to complete and perfect this vital work, continuing the focus on the following critical goals, concerns, and values:
1.) Reflect the values, ecclesiology, and theology of the Church; 2.) Move Title IV towards a reconciliation model for all appropriate circumstances; 3.) Encourage the prompt resolution of conflicts in the Church and the reconciliation of persons involved in those conflicts at the earliest appropriate time and the lowest appropriate level of the Church; 4.) Consider the possible inclusion of certain Lay Persons in Title IV whose office or other leadership role makes inclusion appropriate, provided the treatment of their accountability and discipline is commensurate with their lay status, responsibilities, and commitments; 5.) Maintain the historic pastoral role and canonical authority of Bishops; and 6.) Respect the roles, rights, and integrity of those persons subject to Title IV, and of injured persons, communities, Parishes, Missions, Congregations, and the Church.
And be it further Resolved, That Task Force II meet during the next triennium, giving the Church due notice of its meetings; that it make available such periodic reports of its work as will best inform the Church of its activities; and that it make a final report, with a proposed Title IV revision along with explanatory and educational materials, to the 76th General Convention not later than January 1, 2009
