A105 Amend Canon IV.5.4.g
The provisions stricken from this section may have been left inadvertently when Title IV was amended to remove the Provincial Courts of Review. In any case, there is no benefit or reason to designate panels within the Court of Review. Moreover, it is already difficult enough for the Joint Nominating Committee to recommend slates of candidates who have the requisite “skills, gifts, and experience” the Court needs, while also representing the cultural and geographic diversity of the church, including historically underrepresented voices. To create a subset of the Court which still contained this diversity would be both impossible and create a hardship for some members of the Court.
