Ps. Ted Wilson: GC Working Policy on WO

Note:  A female delegate at the PUC Session rudely interrupts and calls a Point of Order in an effort to suppress any correction to their wrong course of action when Pastor Ted Wilson admonishes the session delegates that the GC Working Policy does not in any way imply that the criteria for ordination is to be the purview of the Union or that the Union in any way is the final authority on ordination policies and procedures.

 
"Now, in B 05 of this policy, it has something that has kind of confused things because it talks about the realm of final authority and mentions the Union and ordination, but this, in no way, is implying that the criteria for ordination is to be the purview of a Union. It is the approval process.  In fact, that particular section of B 05 really has an emphasis on ascending liability and really has nothing to do with trying to determine who it is at the Union level that has final authority on the criteria for ordination."
