[Women] Women's Group Concerns

[Annie Warmke]

This is good info to have.  Perhaps we need to share this process in our 
services periodically.  I do agree with what you're saying Kat, but I 
think that when something continues unresolved it's time to bring it out 
into the light of day.  Some of us from the Women's Group got together 
last Sat. to draft a request for policy from the board.  After review of 
the policies we felt there was a need to make some updates, specifically 
addressing "adults". Annie

>> 1.	All congregants and staff members are expected to endeavor to settle differences and conflicts by use of clear, direct, honest and loving communication with the parties concerned.  The grievance procedure should be followed in cases where such communication fails to bring satisfactory resolution.

>> 2.	Any grievances must be submitted to the Committee on Ministries.  If needed, to meet this requirement, congregants appointed by the Committee on Ministries will provide assistance.  The person initiating the action and any associates who wish to participate in this action must sign the written grievance document.  The document must indicate the date on which it is properly submitted.
