CODE MEETINGS

Walt Wiltschek was among representatives from 19 of the congregation’s 24 districts who gathered for the Council of District Executives’ annual winter meetings in Florida Jan. 6-11. CODE was joined by Annual Conference officers and agency representatives for portions of the meeting. Items of discussion included updates from the districts, reports from committees, budget items, approving a group covenant of accountability for CODE, conversation on possible updates to the denomination’s ministry ethics guidelines, sharing with the Annual Conference “Breaking Down Barriers” study committee, and other planning. Worship and prayer were also woven through the meetings. CODE will next meet for a continuing education event at Bethany Theological Seminary in late April, and then for its regular meeting at Annual Conference in July.
