The Charge Conference directs the trustees by: electing committee members who have no conflict of interest, such as a bank or institution who have a self interest in how the funds are invested or dispensed; directing the trustees to dispense funds only to church-related causes and not to secular causes which secular foundations might support; directing the trustees to fund a particular project or program; removing trustees who do not carry out Charge Conference directives; interpreting the document it creates when there is an interpretation problem; overruling any trustee action it considers inappropriate; reviewing quadrennially the by-laws and amending the document to keep it in agreement with the Discipline
