633. There may be Jurisdictional Committees on both Ordained and Diaconal Ministries or a joint jurisdictional committee related to the respective divisions of ordained and diaconal ministry. These committees shall include representation from each conference board of diaconal and ordained ministry. When a jurisdictional board of higher education and ministry exists, this board may be a part of that structure. The duties of the committee may include providing information on supply and demand and encourage mobility across conference lines; to create a forum for the discussion of issues related to representative ministry; to deal with matters of enlistment and recruitment; to create dialogue with seminaries serving the jurisdiction; to enable ethnic ministries in the jurisdictions. Funding shall be provided through the jurisdictional conference and the annual conference boards of ordained and diaconal ministries.
