GA22 AGENDA: International General Assembly

Notice of Proposal to Amend the Bylaws of the International General Council and the International General Assembly: In accordance with the Minutes of the International General Assembly, the following amendments related to the Bylaws of the Church of God are being recommended by the International Executive Council to the 2022 International General Council for
consideration.

Bylaws Amendment #2 

International General Council – Meeting   

RATIONALE   

Currently, it is assumed that the International General Assembly and International General Council  meet simultaneously.  However, the Minutes do not articulate that the International General  Assembly and the International General Council meet in conjunction.  In light of potential  extenuating unusual circumstances, it is important to state polity that the two meet in conjunction.

We recommend:

That we amend page 61, S2. BYLAWS OF THE CHURCH OF GOD, Article VI, Governing  Bodies, 2. INTERNATIONAL GENERAL COUNCIL by adding a paragraph regarding  “Meeting” following the Members paragraph: 

So as to read:

            Meeting 

The International General Council shall meet biennially, convening in conjunction  with the International General Assembly.
