Responsibilities of COR

A committee on representation (COR) in a synod or presbytery can be an asset to these governing bodies in assisting them in the development of workshops around key issues raised in the church, such as racism training, unity and diversity conferences, and better understanding of the diverse cultures within the PC(USA).

• COR is encouraged to study/review the patterns of participation and inclusiveness on committees, boards, and agencies in synods and presbyteries. Wherever possible, COR should consult with racial ethnic groups, women’s groups, persons with disabilities, etc.
• COR is expected to consult with the nominating committee and assist them in securing names of persons willing to serve on synod/presbytery committees, boards, and agencies.
• COR is encouraged to be in contact with other committees of the synod/presbytery, i.e., evangelism, Christian education, etc., about ways in which persons can be recruited for training. COR members should participate as well.
