Registration and addition information: Nancy Baer [email protected] or 519-532-3982  By: Vonda DenBoer Canada East Mission Centre Co-President At the last world conference, authority was given to Apostles by World Church Resolution 1327, to lead discussion on developing policy that applied to their jurisdiction considering their cultural context. Using past committee work, Mission Presidents, and Standing High Council member Joan Thompson, our Apostle has led an initiative to develop a DRAFT Canadian Policy on Priesthood and Personal Relationships for your consideration. In early July pastors and reunion directors were sent copies of the DRAFT policy and encouraged to promote dialogue. Mission Presidents are involved in leading the dialogue at reunions. Have you heard about this draft policy? Do you have questions or comments? Are you aware of current policy? Get informed by reading the policy and supporting documents, and participate in the dialogue. This fall we will have the opportunity for Canadian church members to share their level of support on a scale, not in a yes/no vote. If polling indicates 80% support by the membership in Canada East and Canada West, the policy will be presented to the Council of Twelve Apostles. On their recommendation it would go to the First Presidency for approval. Only when all that has occurred, would it become effective. We anticipate holding a pre-legislative type dialogue session in early fall just to consider this document. As concern has been raised that delegates do not consistently vote their congregation's wishes, it has already been suggested that all members have the opportunity to participate in the poll. As our CEM conferences are delegate conferences, that option is not possible. We are investigating other technology options that might facilitate member registration and polling. Should you have any questions or comments, please reach out to either Joan or the Mission Presidency Team. Thank you for your support of this process. We look forward to hearing your comments on the draft policy.
