To free up the work of the Coordinating Council so that it could be engaged in facilitating a process for the Presbytery to do visioning, strategic planning and setting policy, Pastoral Relations, E & S, Property and Environment have been established as commissions. Commissions have the power and authority to make decisions on behalf of the Presbytery but if desired could consult the coordinating council, legal experts, and/or the presbytery. It is recommended that any significant legal, financial or disciplinary actions require appropriate wider consultation with the coordinating council, legal experts or presbytery. The Presbytery or Coordinating Council can request or direct that a Commission reconsider a decision, but the Commission would have the final authority in matters assigned to it. The full Court may change the terms of reference for the Commission at any time upon motion duly passed by the full Court.
