Governance - the nuts and bolts of Eldership
This part of the course looks at the specific
and legal responsibilities which fall to the Elders' meeting.
1. Introduction
In this module you will learn about the specific and legal responsibilities which fall to the Elders' meeting.
You will learn a little about the support that is available to help you and your fellow Elders in dealing with these more technical aspects of eldership.
This module is somewhat different from the others you have completed since although the formal duties and responsibilities of Elders are the same across the United Reformed Church, the circumstances are different in different pastorates and some responsibilities will be more significant in one pastorate than another. Once an Elder you will be guided on your way by other Elders - as we have already seen - Elders are a team!
