Standing Committee

The Standing Committee has five main roles in the life of the church:

  • To act as the Bishop’s Council of Advice
  • To consent to bishop election processes, as provided for by canon
  • To make determinations on those in the ordination process, as provided for by canon
  • To act as the ecclesiastical authority in the absence of an active bishop diocesan
  • To represent the people of the diocese in relation to the bishop

The committee meets approximately ten times per year, and each member serves a term of four years.
