The Synod Council, which consists of the Pillar Conveners and elected officers of the Synod, serves as the decision-making body between Synod Assemblies. The Council meets monthly to hear reports from the pillars, discuss issues that have arisen, make decisions that enable the pillars to continue their work, and help plan collaborative efforts that require several pillars to accomplish. While the Synod Council is authorized to make decisions, if a decision is major and affects a majority of the Synod and the Synod Assembly, it should wait until the next Synod Assembly, or the Synod Council should call a Special Meeting of the Assembly.
Membership and terms of service for Synod Council include:
The Pillar or Council may determine a shorter term for Pillar Conveners once the Council has begun its work. The Treasurer, Stated Clerk and Synod Leader’s terms are set by the Synod Assembly and its Standing Rules.
