STANDING ORDERS OF PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF EAST AFRICA

MEETINGS 18.1 These orders are drawn for the benefit of Ministers, elders and the general membership in order to ensure the smooth running of business in meetings of the Church or its organizations. They have been enlarged from the old orders in view of the experience gained over the years. Purpose of Holding a Meeting 18.2 A meeting shall be held to coordinate activities, build morale, share plans, solve problems, exchange information, explore issues, find out new ideas or confirm old ones. A Meeting must have an Agenda 18.3 An agenda is a clearly itemized outline of matters intended for the discussion, ideally in the order of their priority. Calling a Meeting 18.4 Meetings are normally called by the Secretary or Clerk after consultation with the

Chairman/Moderator. It is important to find out which date is likely to suit the majority of the members. Ample notice must be given in writing or verbally, always making sure the information shall reach those concerned on time. The date, day, time and location must always be clearly indicated.

Officials - A Meeting Must Have 18.5 Chairman/Moderator and vice Chairman/vice Moderator. 18.6 Secretary/Clerk or Deputy Secretary/Deputy Clerk. 18.7 Treasurer or an assistant (if there is money involved.)

Order of Events

18.8 When a quorum has been reached, the meeting shall be opened with prayers (or a reading Scripture) and eventually closed with prayer. 18.9 Apologies shall be received and recorded from those who are unable to attend 18.10 The agenda shall be formally presented and approved, with additional items, if necessary. 18.11 Confirmation of minutes of the previous meeting: any corrections must be made before the

Chairman/Moderator signs the minutes of the previous meeting as the correct record of the deliberations of the meeting.

Meetings and Minutes of the Parish Session 18.12 The Session shall hold ordinary meetings for the transaction of its business. Notice shall be given from the pulpit or otherwise communicated to its members in writing. The person acting as Moderator at any meeting shall have a casting vote but not a deliberative vote. The Session normally meets in private, except when, by special Resolution for a particular occasion, it may meet in public. 18.13 Deacons shall not be members of the Parish Session, though they may be invited to attend for such matters as the Session may consider relevant to their functions, but may not take part in the matters strictly reserved for the Session. 18.14 A special meeting may be convened by the authority of the Moderator in a matter of urgency. Notice shall be given from the pulpit, or otherwise communicated to members. 18.15 The Moderator shall convene a special meeting of the Session on the instruction of a superior Court, or within ten days on the request of ten Session members or one-fifth of the total membership, whichever is more. 18.16 The meeting of the Session may not be held when the Presbytery of the area is holding its

ordinary meeting, except with the leave of the Court. If any member of the Session is commissioner to the General Assembly, the Session may not meet while the General Assembly is in session, except for the purpose of ministering the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper or for the dispatch of emergency business.

18.17 The Moderator or interim appointee and one-third of the total number of elders form a quorum for a Parish Session. 18.18 The minutes of each meeting must contain a list of the members present and a record of the apologies for the absences. 18.19 The minutes of a meeting may be read, confirmed and attested at the close of that meeting.

However, usually at each ordinary meeting or subsequent special meetings, the minutes of the previous meeting are read and, if approved as a correct record, are attested by the Moderator and Clerk appending their signatures and date of signing.

18.20 Every correction in the minutes must be attested by the initials of the Moderator and Clerk, in the margin. 18.21 An extract from the minutes of the Session must be certified by the Clerk and provided when required by a superior Court of the Church having jurisdiction, or by any interested party at the discretion of the Session. 18.22 The Session shall be responsible to the Presbytery for the regular and faithful keeping of all its records. It shall submit these records on demand for inspection and attestation by a superior Court, in addition to the annual presentation to the first meeting of Presbytery each year. 18.23 The Session shall always give priority to items referred to it by the Senior Courts of the Church or the Business Committee.

18.24 Session Minutes Books shall be presented to the Presbytery at the December meeting with all the minutes signed by the Moderator and Clerk, except the minutes of the December meeting which should be confirmed at the January meeting of the next year. Writing of Minutes 18.25 Minutes of all meetings must be kept in a properly bound book (not loose leaf) and may be handwritten or typewritten. If the latter method is used, the typed sheets must be fully pasted to the leaves of the Minutes Book and not merely attached to the spacers. Adhesive tape may not be used. Each page that is so pasted in shall be initialed by the Moderator and Clerk, or the corresponding officials, so that the initial is partly on the inserted page and partly on the original leaf of the book. 18.26 Minutes shall contain a true and correct record of the proceedings and the resolutions adopted.

It is not necessary to include details of the discussions, but it is at the discretion of the body concerned to record whatever is of relative importance. When a decision is taken on a vote, the actual votes cast for and against need not be recorded, unless requested by a member at the meeting. The confidential nature of the minutes of a Session should be borne in mind.

18.27 All minutes shall record:

18.27.1 the place, date and time of commencing the meeting. 18.27.2 that the meeting was constituted with prayer and by whom.

18.27.3 the names of the members present. If a signed register is kept, it may not be necessary to repeat the names. However, in case the register should be misplaced, it is advisable to record all the names in the Minutes Book.

18.27.4 the names of members from whom apologies are received and sustained. 18.27.5 that the minutes of the previous ordinary meeting, and of any special meeting held in the interim, have been confirmed, stating the date on which each meeting was held. 18.27.6 any business or matters arising from these minutes. 18.27.7 the exact wording of all motions and amendments, and whether they were moved and

18.28 When there is no quorum at a first meeting whose items of discussion need urgent attention, the issue may be discussed, but the notice calling the subsequent meeting is to included in the minutes of the postponed proceedings. Such minutes must be scrutinized and adopted at the next meeting.

18.29 When minutes of any meeting are to be confirmed, and if corrections are required, any corrections shall be attested at the meeting at which the minute is to be confirmed, by the Moderator and Clerk or the corresponding officials writing their initials in the margin on the left hand side of the page. Discussion 18.30 It is unfair and wrong for one member to dominate the discussion, making it difficult for other members to contribute to it. Delegation of Work 18.31 Any meeting can appoint an ad hoc committee or sub committee to deal with matters might not necessarily be deliberated on by the whole meeting. Such ad hoc or subcommittee shall report back to the parent body unless previously instructed otherwise. Office Bearers The Chairman 18.32 The role of the Chairman is crucial in any meeting. He has at least five functions to fulfil. He shall:

18.32.1 preserve order in the meeting, for without it, no meeting can take place 18.32.2 enforce the rules of procedure appropriate to the meeting. He must be

thoroughly familiar with these rules.

18.32.3 rule on disputed matters concerning procedure which arise during the meeting. 18.32.4 Maintain the policy of the organization and draw the members’ attention to it, if

A decision they are about to take conflicts with the established policy.

18.32.5 prevent irrelevant discussion and keep the meeting to the agenda.

The Secretary 18.33 A Secretary is the backbone of the organization and is indispensable in the efficient running of any meeting. Following are some of his important qualities. He should: 18.33.1 a good organizer in readiness for any meeting of the committee he serves in, with all relevant papers/books for that purpose.

18.33.2 systematic in his approach to tasks.

18.33.3 stable and clear thinking.

18.33.4 Diplomatic

18.33.5 Knowledgeable and authoritative, not authoritarian.

Treasurer 18.34 Whenever there is an amount of money for which a group of people is responsible, the position of Treasurer is crucial in keeping members always informed about the financial status. He should be:

18.34.1 competent in working with figures and financial accounts.

18.34.2 able to write his books of accounts properly.

18.34.3 able to give an up-to-date financial statement of accounts when so asked.

18.34.4 able to speak convincingly and politely to those who bring money to him.

18.34.5 honest and trustworthy. Preparation for a General Assembly 18.35 Until the General Assembly rules otherwise, it shall meet every three years, normally in Nairobi, which is centrally located for travel and better served in various aspects of communication than other towns. 18.36 The Business Committee, at a meeting held early in November of the year prior to the holding

of the General Assembly, appoints a sub-committee, which includes the current and past Moderators, to form a Nominations Committee. It shall short-list potential candidates and submit the names to Presbyteries. It shall also receive nominations for posts of Moderator, Secretary General, Deputy Secretary General, Treasurer or any other senior posts. If incumbent officers are potential nominees, they do not take part in the nomination process.

18.37 The Business Committee shall set the date when all nominations shall take place on the same day in all Presbyteries, as well as the date when all names should be delivered in person to the office of General Assembly. 18.38 All nominations shall be presented in a sealed envelope. The nomination papers, having been duly signed by the Moderator and Clerk of Presbytery concerned, must show details of voting results clearly recorded and a minute of the Presbytery on the matter quoted in full. 18.39 When the nominations have been received by the sub-committee, the envelopes will all be

opened in the presence of its members and the voting of Presbyteries duly recorded. The subcommittee shall then present the nominations to the full meeting of the Business Committee.

18.40 Should the Business Committee find that the required two-thirds majority for Moderator or Secretary General, or a simple majority for the Deputy Secretary General and the Honorary Treasurer, have been attained, the name or names will be declared as officer- designates to the offices for which they have been nominated.

Should the Business Committee find that no such two-thirds majority vote for Moderator or Secretary General or the Honorary Treasurer, have been reached, the committee shall send back three names, picked in the order of the votes cast, for further voting by the Presbyteries.

18.41 After the second ballot, the Business Committee, as the Nominations Committee, shall make the decision in accordance with the votes then cast. 18.42 Should any Presbytery wish to appeal for a review of the decision of the Business Committee,

the Presbytery shall outline all the reasons pertaining to this request. The request must reach the Business Committee forty-five days before the meeting of the General Assembly.

18.43 The Business Committee shall make a final decision on the appeal unless, in its opinion, the

appeal by the Presbytery has proved sustainable or the required majority vote has not been reached in the second balloting, in which case a special meeting of the GAC is to be called to determine the issue.

18.44 An appeal by an individual or Session shall not be entertained by the Business Committee, unless fully supported by a minute of that Presbytery, stating clearly in writing the grounds warranting this request. 18.45 After the name of the Candidate has been adopted and announced by the Business Committee or the General Administration Committee, that decision cannot be challenged on the floor of the General Assembly. 18.46 Should a Presbytery insist, after the request for review has been heard by the Business Committee and rejected, that the matter must be referred to a special meeting of the GAC, that Presbytery covers the cost of all the expenses pertaining to the meeting if it loses the appeal. If the Presbytery wins the appeal, the Church covers the expenses. Nomination of Commissioners 18.47 Early in the month of November prior to the meeting of the General Assembly, the clerks of the

General Assembly shall send to Presbyteries information and forms for the appointment of Commissioners. They shall also remind Presbyteries when such people should be nominated. Commissioners may be appointed the same day when officers of the General Assembly are nominated. This procedure is recommended to save time and expenses.

18.48 Presbyteries should ensure that only ordained Ministers and ordained elders take part in the

exercise of the appointment of Commissioners. For every three Ministers, two become members with a corresponding number is two, one more Minister shall be appointed and a corresponding elder. Licentiates or probationers do not count as Ministers.

18.49 Retired Ministers: One representative for every three retired and residing within the Presbytery’s bounds. 18.50 Others: One representative each for the youth, Christian Education and the Woman’s Guild. They need not be ordained elders, provided they are known to be active in the organizations they represent. As a guide, it is preferable to appoint one of the officers as a Commissioner, but the Presbytery has power to appoint a different person if it deems it desirable. Those appointed to represent these organizations may take part in the debate but may not vote. 18.51 In the month of January, the Secretary General shall present to the Business Committee the names of all Commissioners, together with suggestions of those to be appointed by

Business Committee to represent other interests as well as to maintain the necessary parity. 18.52 Should any Presbytery find it necessary to appoint a substitute for a Commissioner who is unable to attend the General Assembly, that person’s name, address and, if available, telephone number, shall be submitted to the Principal Clerk of the Assembly not less than seven days before the Assembly convenes. Any substitute shall be accepted as a regularly appointed Commissioner when the Roll of Commissioners is amended upon presentation to the Assembly. When appointing a substitute, the category they represent must be taken into account. 18.53 If the papers for the General Assembly have already been distributed, the onus of passing

those papers and other briefings or resources on to the substitute Commissioner shall rest on the one who is unable to fulfil his commission. This should be done in consultation with the Presbytery Clerk.

18.54 On arrival at the venue of a General Assembly on the appointed day and time, Commissioners shall report to the registration office and sign the attendance register. 18.55 Any irregularity regarding the appointment of a Commissioner and brought to the attention of the Principal Clerk of the Assembly shall be referred to the Business Committee for examination, and the findings reported to the Assembly. A name tag shall be given to each Commissioner. 18.56 The Business Committee shall meet at a convenient time before the opening of the Assembly to approve the Roll of Commissioners. As this is meant to save time in the first session, when the roll shall be presented, it does not call for the reading of each name. The Business Committee shall include the names appointed by it to represent other interests and to maintain parity between Ministers and elders. 18.57 Commissioning by a Presbytery obliges a Commissioner:

18.57.1 to be present for the whole period of the General Assembly. 18.57.2 to apply formally for leave of absence, if this is needed, stating reasons through the person(s) or subcommittee assigned the task of considering these applications. The subcommittee shall report on each application to the Assembly and move that absence be granted or denied. 18.57.3 to report back to his Presbytery on important matters even before the minutes of the General Assembly are produced. 18.57.4 to vote in support of any matter, which has been deliberated and decided on by his Presbytery. On matters for which no view has been expressed by his Presbytery, he is free to use personal discretion, bearing in mind the effect it would have on the relevant Presbytery. Attendance of Non-Commissioners 18.58 A probationer, Minister of elder of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa not appointed to be a Commissioner may attend but may not take part in the debate of the Assembly.

18.59 Any fraternal delegate of a sister Church or local Minister invited to bring greetings, or a representative of an organization, or an individual invited to address the Assembly, shall be accorded due honour and may stay in the house as long as he wishes, but may not participate in the Assembly debates unless specially requested to give counsel.

18.60 The General Assembly shall be an open Court. However, should the Assembly need to discuss any issue in camera (closed session), all visitors, including those specially invited guests, shall be requested to take leave, but may come back as soon as the Assembly resumes as an open Court. Documents for Submission to the General Assembly 18.61 All Secretaries of Standing Committees shall present their written reports duly signed by the Secretary and Chairman, on a date to be given by the Secretary General/Principal Clerk to the General Assembly. 18.62 The Business Committee, through the Secretary General, shall present a report on its work during the previous year and may any proposals on which they wish the Assembly to take action. This is normally known as the Report of the Clerks of the General Assembly, or the Report of the Clerks. 18.63 The Secretary General shall submit a report on the general affairs of the Church and is free to include matters of importance, irrespective of whether such matters have been discussed by the Business Committee. 18.64 The Moderator shall present a report on his stewardship during the past year. This report does

not carry proposed resolution as the others do. However, after the report is presented to the Assembly, an ad hoc committee shall be appointed by the Assembly to study the report and report back at the appropriate time during the session.

18.65 The Presbytery Clerks shall bring all the Minutes Books of Presbyteries on the first day of the Assembly. 18.66 Each Presbytery shall submit its report on major issues dealt with during the year, and any problems on which they wish to seek the opinion or ruling of the Assembly, any future projections and plans, matters referred to it by the GA or the GAC and the actions taken. Any petitions shall be brought under this head. The reports must bear the signature of the Moderator and Clerk of Presbytery, and the corresponding minute duly recorded. 18.67 For matters relating to appeals by a Presbytery or an individual to the General Assembly, the procedure already set down for such appeals must be followed. 18.68 The Business Committee shall present the agenda for the Assembly and program laid down for debate to cover the agenda.

CHA KUTUMAINI SINA

Ila da,u yake BwanaSina wema wa kutoshaDhambi zangu kuziosha.

Kwake Yesu nasimamaNdiye Mwamba: ni salama

2 Njia yangu iwe ndefu

Yeye hunipa wokovu;Mawimbi yakinipigaNguvu zake ndiyo nanga

3 Damu yake na sadakaNategemea daima

Yote chini yakiisha

Mwokozi atanitosha

4 Nikiitwa hukumuni

Rohoni nina amaniNikivikwa haki yakeSina hofu mbele zake.
