The Council on Finance and Administration (CFA) met on Thursday, June 13, 2019, and received a referral for funding from a motion approved by Annual Conference requesting the Bishop appoint a task force to study the best way to offer pastoral care to our LGBTQIA+ community in North Carolina.
As the task force will meet over the next year and report back to the 2020 Annual Conference, there are no implications to the approved budget. After the task force is appointed and the scope of work determined, the task force will meet to develop their plan, which will drive their need for funding. A request from the task force reflecting that plan should be submitted to CFA for consideration as a supplemental appropriation.
