Concurrent chapters Day 3
Posted by CCSC on 21 December 2010 | 0 CommentsAfter a time of prayer together, most of Day 3 of our time here was spent in individual Chapters ‐ those of the Provinces of Melbourne, New Zealand and Sydney. At the same time, the District Council of Melanesia also met. All these meetings involved participants in discussing the six motions developed yesterday during the final plenary session.
These motions focused on proposed configurations of the Administrative Units within Oceania. Each Chapter voted on these motions in preparation for the final
Assembly tomorrow.
The three Chapters also elected the members of the new Provincial Councils. The names of these councillors are listed here with their Provincials:
