Council Meeting

On Friday evening, 28th July, I arrived at Nottingham after an 8 hour car journey (it is peak holiday time) to attend a meeting of Council. The meeting had been planned many months before and the main agenda item was to talk of governance and the changes we might need to make to our Constitution and working practices. In addition, Council looked at the resolution that was passed by the Assembly in June and began to make plans about how to enact the will and wish of Assembly. Full details of the discussions will be circulated with the minutes in due course, but I include this item as attending meetings is one of the duties of the President. In the case of the Congregational Federation, the President Elect, President and Immediate Past President are the 'Officers' of the Federation and we have an important role to play in the cycle of meetings. If your church wishes to bring matters to the attention of council, please speak  to the chair of council, your Area representative or one of the Presidents.

Some worked through the coffee break!
