New Task Force Will Re-examine Title IV
08/31/2006

Bishops and deputies to the 75th General Convention rejected the proposed revision to the Title IV disciplinary canons. That same convention also called for the formation of a new task force without making provision to fund it. Money is just one of an array of variables which Bonnie Anderson, the new
president of the House of Deputies, has factored into making nearly 150 appointments to the interim committees and commissions that help carry out the work of convention when it is not in session.

“I think it is necessary for the Title IV task force to meet,” she told The Living Church. “We will simply have to be creative in how we go about finding funds.”

Resolution
A153 called for creation of a 12-member task force with three members to be appointed by the Standing Commission on Constitution and Canons; three members to be appointed by the Standing Commission on Ministry Development, and six members to be appointed jointly by Presiding Bishop-elect Katharine Jefferts Schori and Mrs. Anderson. Three of the six members to be appointed jointly must come from the previous task force.
