Amend ¶ 454.1d:

1.d) ...The board's recommendation will be shared with the minister, the bishop, the Cabinet, the congregation(s) affected, and the complainant. In the event that the Board recommends something other than dismissal of the complaint, the cabinet shall provide a process whereby congregational healing can be facilitated. This may include a mediation process for unresolved conflicts, support for victims, and reconciliation for parties involved. In the event of dismissal, the Annual Conference shall provide a process for healing within the congregation if there has been significant disruption to congregational life by the dismissed charges.
