Whereas, at the present time any other local church officer can be removed only by suspension from exercising any office pending trial by action of the Committee on Investigation (¶ 2626a, b, c); and
Whereas, a less complicated and harsh way needs to be provided for removing local church officers from office;
Therefore, be it resolved that if a local church officer should refuse to cooperate with the Administrative Board/Council, or is in conflict with the actions and policies of the Administrative Board/Council, at the request of the Administrative Board/Council and review by the Committee on Nominations and Personnel, the officer can be suspended from office by the Committee on Nominations and Personnel pending action of the Church/Charge Conference at a called or regular session.
