    1. MCPCCE Endorsement Process: There are Area MCPCCE Conveners located strategically in various parts of the country.  MCPCCE Consultation Committees are scheduled in consultation with the Area MCPCCE Convener.   Approximately 20-30 persons seek consultations for MCPCCE endorsement each year.   An additional 30-40 persons per year inquire about MCPCCE endorsement.  The MCPCCE Consultation Committee makes a recommendation to synodical Bishops regarding endorsement.   It is the synodical Bishop who ultimately endorses the candidate in MCPCCE.
