50. Authorisations (1)
The lists of those to be:
 Recognised and Regarded as Ministers or Deacons of the Methodist Church
 Authorised to Serve the Methodist Church as a Minister or Deacon
 Granted the Status of Associate Minister or Deacon
and the text of the relevant Resolutions are to be found in the supplementary
booklet ‘Ministerial and Diaconal Oversight and Authorisations’.
PRESIDENCY AT THE LORD’S SUPPER
The Authorisations Committee presents three lists to the Conference. List A
records the recommendations of the Authorisations Committee on the initial
applications and renewals at the end of a three-year term following examination of
application forms and required documentation. Lists B and C set out the
recommendations of the Authorisations Committee on renewals for a second or
third year. The basis for these is that the District Policy Committees have
indicated that there are no changes in the circumstances pertaining to the
applications.
When an application is received in respect of a probationer, it is accompanied by a
document from their training institution affirming their willingness to accept an
authorisation, and indicating their training in Methodist sacramental theology,
liturgical principles of Methodist communion services, and the practical skills of
conducting communion services. This satisfies criterion 4 (CPD, Book VI, Part 8).
Applications in respect of lay persons resident in a Circuit usually indicate their
willingness to accept an authorisation, and the support of their Circuit. However,
the Committee was concerned that some applications made no mention of either
theoretical or practical training, and District Chairs have been advised that in
future assurance will be required that this has taken place before a lay person takes
up their authorised duties (Standing Order 011 (6)).
