Statements of Conscience
Wildflower Church has the following policies and procedures for Statements of Conscience:
- All proposed public statements on behalf of the Church, including Statements of Conscience, are submitted to the Social Action Committee for consideration.
- The Committee votes on a proposed public statement and, if approved by at least 75% of the members of the Social Action Committee, the committee drafts a formal statement and sends it to the Board of Trustees for consideration at its next meeting.
- The Board considers for endorsement all draft public statements submitted by the Social Action Committee. If endorsed, the Board includes the public statements on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled or specially called congregational meeting.
- Prior to the next regularly scheduled or specially called congregational meeting, the Social Action Committee sponsors events to educate the congregation about the statement.
- The congregation votes to approve or reject all public statements at the next regularly scheduled or specially called congregational meeting. Ninety per cent (90%) of the members of the congregation present and voting, or voting by proxy, must approve a proposed public statement.
