Review/Nomination Committee.  Completed applications must be postmarked no

     The nine-member Stated Clerk Review/Nomination Committee was elected 
by this year's General Assembly.  Its task is to conduct the end-of-term 
review for the incumbent Stated Clerk, the Rev. James E. Andrews, and to 
nominate a candidate to succeed him to next year's General Assembly in 
Albuquerque.

reelection. 
 
     The committee is composed of three persons nominated by the Committee 
on the Office of the General Assembly (COGA), one person nominated by the 
General Assembly Council (GAC) and five persons nominated by the General 
Assembly Nominating Committee.  Those five must include one stated clerk of 
a presbytery or synod, two elders and two ministers who have been 
commissioners to a General Assembly.
