Recommendations:

1. That all ministry personnel be responsible for their pastoral charges on July 1st, 2008, unless otherwise approved by District/Conference.

2. That the Executive of Settlement Committee effect settlement in vacancies and in emergencies during the year.

3. That all ministry personnel beginning new pastoral relationships contact the Secretary of the Official Board (or equivalent) to arrange time of arrival.

4. That the term of appointment for Designated Lay Ministers will normally be three years renewable (reviewed annually).

5. That pastoral charges seeking Settlement communicate in writing through their respective District Secretaries and Pastoral Relations Chairpersons.

6. That pastoral charges which are intending to be before Settlement Committee and personnel seeking Settlement communicate their wishes in writing to their respective District Secretaries and Pastoral Relations Chairpersons before March 27th, 2009. Requests received after March 27th, 2009, will not be given priority. Settlement Executive will meet on April 2nd, 2009 and Settlement Committee will meet from May 5th - May 8th, 2009.

7. That pastoral charges be open to ALL ministry personnel and that ministry personnel be available to ALL pastoral charges.

8. When the District approves a request for a change in the pastoral relationship initiated by the clergy before the end of the third year, the District shall require that the moving expenses to that pastoral charge be reimbursed by the clergy to the parties who paid them on a pro rata basis unless the District can justify the waiving of this requirement. This requirement shall include those newly commissioned/ordained and called/settled. {The Manual, (2007), Section 036(n)}
