St Mary's PCC Code of Conduct
Before the meeting:
At the meeting:
After the meeting:
Approved by PCC 23rd May 2022 and reviewed annually.
Before the meeting:
- Feel encouraged to discuss agenda items with members of the congregation and other Council members so that we can better represent our congregations and equip ourselves.
- If you are unable to attend and want to offer comments on a particular agenda item, please feel free to send a short email to the chairperson who will feed it into the discussion.
- Feel free, occasionally, to offer a paper or supporting document relating to an agenda item via the Secretary, who will show it to the Rector or Vicar before circulating it to the PCC.
At the meeting:
- We encourage everyone to take part in the discussions.
- All contributions are made through the chair.
- We try to listen carefully and respectfully to one another.
- Please speak with grace and love – particularly when we disagree with one another.
- Bear in mind that we are elected to represent the views of church members, not just our own agenda.
- Our discussions are confidential, but decisions and a summary is available on the website.
After the meeting:
- Please avoid discussing or debating PCC decisions using email or social media after the event – try to channel concerns or disagreements face to face with appropriate members/officers.
- It is our collective responsibility to support decisions taken by a majority of the Council.
