    • Charter of Re-Constructed Committee

    September 1999

    Name

    The group shall be called the "Lutheran-Reformed Coordinating Committee." Each church body will be represented by three persons, one of whom will be the church body's primary staff person for ecumenical matters. Attention will be given to lay participation. Each of the members will serve at the will of the individual's parent body, and a pattern of rotation will be formulated.

    Responsibilities

    The responsibilities of the Lutheran-Reformed Coordinating Committee will be:

      1. To ensure that commitments made in "A Formula of Agreement" be carried out;
      2. To refer matters that require internal legislative decision-making to the appropriate decision-making bodies of the participating churches;
      3. To refer matters related to programs to the appropriate units of the participating churches, encouraging them to fulfill these specific tasks, and asking for regular progress reports;
      4. To address ongoing relationship issues for the participating churches and to facilitate inter-church activities;
      5. To propose national events for the participating churches; and
      6. To report annually to the participating churches on the status of inter-church activities.
