Committee leadership set for the 216th General Assembly

by Sharon K. Youngs
Communications Coordinator
Office of the General Assembly

LOUISVILLE - The leadership for the 13 committees that will take up the
business of the 216th General Assembly (2004) of the Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.) has been named.

	The Standing Rules of the General Assembly direct that the moderator
of the previous General Assembly will appoint the committee leadership for
the next assembly. The Rev. Susan R. Andrews, moderator of the 215th General
Assembly (2003) made this year's appointments.

	The committee leadership is drawn from the commissioners who have
been elected to the assembly by their presbyteries. Each committee will be
led by a moderator and vice-moderator. In addition, each committee will have
an assembly assistant who supports the committee's work, and a
parliamentarian/recorder.

	The Standing Rules require that the moderator consult with the
Committee on the Office of the General Assembly and the General Assembly
Committee on Representation in making the leadership appointments. The rules
also provide directives for the committee leadership, which ensure clergy and
elder parity, male and female balance, and geographical diversity.
