Scope and content
In 1971 following the Implementation Committee’s Report on the Commission on Ministry in the 20th Century and the establishment of an office of Pastoral Relations, DMPE’s work proceeded in that area to regularize the methods of communication both to ministers and to Pastoral Charges concerning call and settlement of ministers. Studies were established on retraining and rehabilitation for ministers who were not successful in being located in congregational employment and a number of persons received assistance, retraining and rehabilitation (1972 yearbook). In 1975 the National Pastoral Relations Committee developed a new policy on personnel and procedures for admissions and readmissions and DMPE helped to make those policies available in a handbook for Conference Personnel Officers.
Series consists of records concerning DMPE work in the area of pastoral relations and has three subseries: 1) Office Files, Historical Files and Resources, 1971-2003, 2) Pastoral Relations Committee, 1964-2004, 3) Admissions, 1969-1999.
