Whereas, candidates for representative ministry at times change the direction of their response to the call to ministry, which currently requires initiating a new process and relating to a different Board; and
Whereas, the initial steps into both forms of representative ministry are similar;
Therefore, be it resolved, that candidates for representative ministry enter the period of inquiry in a joint process established by the Division of Ordained Ministry and Diaconal Ministry of the Board of Higher Education and Ministry.
