The officers of the General Assembly intend to convene the Mission Council, the executive body of the URC, for a few hours’ business on Friday 10 July. This meeting was open to Synod representatives and their Moderators to attend as normal.
Saturday 11 July was primarily an act of worship to induct the new Moderators of the General Assembly, the Revd Clare Downing and Mr Peter Pay, and the new General Secretary, the Revd Dr John Bradbury, into office, and was live streamed.
We make these papers available to the wider URC membership asking that people be aware that they are discussion documents and that many changes may be made as a result of Mission Council decisions.
