XVI. Procedure for Filling Vacancy of An Elected Ministry Leader Under Extenuating Unusual Circumstances
RATIONALE: This motion addresses the impact of potential extenuating unusual circumstances that may alter tenure, election, and succession of elected leadership of the Church of God. Under all circumstances, it is significantly important to preserve the continuity of the governance of the church. This is accomplished by maintaining a policy regarding succession in office of general elected positions with full legal and ecclesiastical authority.
C. Policy Regarding Succession in Office of Elected Persons
Persons elected to an international, state/regional, or local position serve in their respective elective office until their successor is named, unless there has been a death or a person has been involuntarily removed, or voluntarily resigned. In extenuating unusual circumstances, including but not limited to the following: a global pandemic or regional or national epidemic; regional, national, or global war; natural disaster; or any other event that would demonstrate compelling impact upon the governance of the Church of God, an individual’s tenure in office might exceed the tenure limits set by the International General Assembly. |
