Question:: Our pastor is being moved after the congregation unanimously recommended that he stay to continue work he has begun. Can we do anything to prevent the move once the decision has been made?
Answer:A local congregation has no authority over pastoral appointments and the pastor-parish relations committee does not decide reappointments. The Book of Discipline states, "Clergy shall be appointed by the bishop, who is empowered to make and fix all appointments in the episcopal area...." (¶430 Responsibility, 2004 Book of Discipline)
