The question is why are Councils doing this? There is a set procedure as to how a Council should operate. What we are finding is a significant number of Councils that are not following proper procedure. Thus when we are not following proper procedure we end up spending more time on the mundane and not on what counts service to all. In response to this situation the State Board has instituted Diocesan Review Teams. These teams are being set up to assist Councils and District Deputies to maintain consistent operational and financial record keeping across the province. O u r L o t t e r y . . . a T o o l f o r When Councils are operating in accordance with the Constitution and by-laws there is less time wasted in these areas more time can be directed to doing good works within your churches, communities and assisting your families. Why would we not want to participate in the Review Teams to ensure the seamless operation of our Councils? We encourage members who are qualified to volunteers for the Teams.
