Methodist Council, April 2011

Methodist Council met in April and considered a few issues to do with Methodist URC relations.  (I'm having some technical problems and so I'm afraid this post falls short of my usual standards.  I'll update it later when the problems are resolved.)  Here they are:

United Reformed Church and Methodist Buildings

Council members agreed the terms of reference for a follow-up group on joint work on the use of United Reformed Church and Methodist Buildings and approved in principle 50% funding for a three-year post of Executive Officer to support the group (the other 50% to be met by the URC). This will now be taken to the URC Mission Council for their consideration.

Joint meeting with the United Reformed Mission Council

 The Council agreed to another joint meeting with the United Reformed Mission Council. This will take place in Autumn 2012.

Model Constitution for a Methodist / United Reformed Church United Area Association

The Council appointed a group to scrutinise the document and approve it on the Council’s behalf.  There will be a post about this once it has been approved.
