The original headline of the General Assembly blog post about a bylaw change concerning the Ministerial Fellowship Committee—“Ministers can be terminated for incompetence”—imprecisely characterized an aspect of the new MFC rules. The rule change allows the Ministerial Fellowship Committee to terminate a minister's fellowship with the Association—in effect, their accreditation—for incompetence, but the committee does not have the authority to “terminate” a minister's settlement in a congregation or to revoke their ordination. The headline and second paragraph of the post have been revised to more accurately reflect what the General Assembly decided.
