Study Teams and Chairs

The board of administration may establish study teams in advance of a general conference session. These study teams will be authorized to study ministry and administrative needs of the Canadian church for the period following the general conference session and present working papers and recommendations to the next general conference for its consideration. The teams shall serve from their appointment to the close of the general conference session. The number of teams and their specific areas of study shall be defined by the board of administration. The members of these study teams shall be nominated by the nominating committee, appointed by the board of administration and ratified by the general conference at its opening session.
