Whereas:

-God calls certain people with both leadership gifts and into leadership roles
-Those in leadership are called to lead
-In some places leadership is squelched
-In some places leadership can become abusive

Therefore, be it resolved:

-Healthy leadership be affirmed, supported, and encouraged at a Conference level, understanding the vast differences in leadership styles

-Unhealthy leadership be removed or reprimanded by Conference structures

Does the resolution have a direct relationship to the vision and mission of the Free Methodist Church?

Yes.

How will the proposed change help us accomplish our vision and mission?

Healthy leaders are critical to the mission.

The Resolutions Committee rates this resolution as:

(C) Rejected – anticipate General Conference rejection

Comments:

Resolution not specific enough, and in fact reinforces what the discipline and meg manuals currently seek to foster.
