The Stated Clerk’s Corner
The Stated Clerk is the presbytery‘s ecclesiastical administrator, receiving information from and communicating it to Sessions, Synod, and the General Assembly. The Clerk serves as the presbytery’s secretary and parliamentarian, and as a polity guide for Clerks of Session, Moderators, and the presbytery’s elected leaders and staff. The Clerk also provides staff support to the constitutional committees of presbytery. Annual reviews of session minutes, rolls and registers are required by the Book of Order and are coordinated by the Clerk’s Office.
