The Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee (DMPC)
The Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee (DMPC) is established under the Pastoral Measure 1983 and the Dioceses Pastoral and Mission Measure 2007. Its objectives are to review, as directed by the Bishop, or as considered necessary by the Committee, arrangements for pastoral supervision in the Diocese. Bishops Council exercises the legal responsibilities of the DMPC.
There are four Archidiaconal sub-committees, each meets at least three times a year, including joint meetings of the sub-committees within each of the Episcopal Areas.
There is a statutory procedure for consultation with interested parties (e.g Incumbents, PCCs and Patrons of affected parishes) before proposals are passed to the Church Commissioners, who make Pastoral Schemes and Orders.
