Executive Committee
Fields of Responsibility
There will be four meetings set each year: action required between meetings will be arranged by e-mail or conference call.
- to develop proposals for Synod strategy, for approval by Synod;
- to monitor that responsibility is allocated comprehensively and appropriately, for actions that support Synod-approved policy or that respond to General Assembly assignments;
- to manage the process for Synod appointments, both paid and unpaid;
- to manage office arrangements and administration work - including establishment numbers within budget - for the Moderator and the Training Team, and for liaison between Synod and the local churches;
- to manage staff relations within employment legislation, including setting office staff salaries;
- to monitor performance against the Administration Fund Budget;
- to make arrangements for meetings of Synod, developing detailed agendas; and
- to take urgent action as necessary;
in every case asking what the ecumenical implications are.
