Spectrum Staff | October 31, 2011

Shortly after 11:30am today, the North American Division Committee voted 162 to 61 to reaffirm the E 60 policy voted by the 2010 NAD Year-end Meetings.

This policy will open the way for either ordained or commissioned ministers to serve in the role of conference president.

Full report to come from Charles Scriven.

He said that during the two hour debate on the item not one person stood to object to women functioning as president.
