Individuals, communities of faith, networks, and clusters of the United Church may submit a proposal to their respective Regional Council for consideration.
The Regional Councils will then take ownership of the proposal, with full ability to make revisions and changes, and either forward it to General Council with agreement or disagreement (providing rationale why the Regional Council is sending a proposal with which it disagrees) or by taking no action at this time.
Similar to General Councils 43 and 44, General Council 45 will take a multi-phase approach of Learning, Discussing, and Deciding over the course of three months.
