How do the SPPR/C respond to a complaint against clergy, lay staff or lay volunteers?
Minor conflicts can be resolved between parties by talking to them individually and together. Members from the SPPR/C may be assigned to media the situation. If it is a written compliant against lay employee or volunteer, the SPPR/C needs to address the issue as a committee according to the Ethical and Employment Policies and Procedures of the local church. The District Superintendent and/or Conference Chancellor may be consulted. If there are possible legal charges the District Superintendent must be contacted.
