The Collegium

Each college will join with the other colleges to form the Collegium.  The Collegium will act as a decision-making entity for the group and as the home for centrally managed administrative functions that will provide economies of scale for the member churches. The Collegium will maintain a Commission on Ministry, a Commission on Education and will be the organizing entity for the Collegium Book of Discipline. The Collegium will be led by a Dean elected by the colleges every four years.  Each of the member churches will appoint delegates to the Collegium. The church delegations shall be equally composed of ordained people and lay people.

The Collegium will be required to produce annual audited financial statements for review by the Churches and Colleges, and will be required to operate under a budget approved by the Colleges.
