10. Mr Glenn R Murray asked -

In reference to resolution 22/98 titled "Team Ministry Training" and Standing Committee's report indicating referral to CEFM without response (Standing Committee Report p 18, item 6.13 of 1999 Synod Handbook) -

(a) What are CEFM's strategies and plans for this important training and development initiative? and

(b) When might these be available to Synod and put into practice throughout the Diocese?

To which the President replied -

(a) CEFM's calendar allows November, December and January as the months for planning future initiatives. Being a very small staffed organisation the other nine months are full with the promotion, execution and delivery of existing programs. However in preparation for more detailed planning CEFM has surveyed a sample of parish clergy, especially from larger parishes to identify what the needs are. In addition, CEFM has appointed an experienced parish rector to join the team for 2/5 of each week to help develop this and other initiatives.

(b) Consequently detailed plans should be available for implementation in 2000 by the beginning of March.
