B. Initiation of Action
Action requesting that a pastor be investigated may originate in either the local Spiritual Life Ministries Committee or the Yearly Meeting Board of Spiritual Life Ministries. Action originating in the local congregation should be forwarded to the Yearly Meeting Board of Spiritual Life Ministries if the local Spiritual Life Ministries Committee is not willing to consider the matter. In either case, the concern must be brought to the attention of the Yearly Meeting Board of Spiritual Life Ministries, the General Superintendent, and the Yearly Meeting Presiding Clerk for action.
