Dear Mary,
Thanks for bringing up a question regarding the nomination process. Please excuse me for using English to reply. I have cc'ed Pastor Simon and Elder Terence in this email.
When we first established Esther fellowship early this year, since this is the first year and we don't have any committee in the past, we opened up the nomination process, so that brothers and sisters (who attended >50% program) can nominate anyone (who attended >60% program) to be a committee member candidate.
For this year or subsequent years, there are a few options:
1. Keep the same as before. Any brother and sister, who attended > 50% programs) can nominate anyone (who attended >60% program) to be a committee member candidate. The pros of this option is the openness. The cons could be:
a lot of people got nominated, feelings may be hurt if only a few can be elected.
one may feel pressure if he/she got nominated by someone, but he/she chooses not to nominate back that someone.
Currently, I don't think there is any fellowship using this option.
2. Counselor is responsible to all nomination. If anyone is interested to serve, he/she should approach the counselor directly. If anyone is interested to nominate someone, he/she should approach the counselor directly. The pros of this option are
the counselor can decide the best team to serve together,
save the "face" of any embarrassment/pressure.
can persuade people to come out to serve if there is any difficulty in finding anyone.
However, the cons could be:
openness
Currently, a few of our smaller and younger fellowships are using this option.
3. Has a nominating committee. It will consist of the couselor, 1-2 current committee member, and 1-2 non committee member. The 1-2 non committee members are openly nominated by the members of the fellowship. All nomination will be coming out of the nominating committee. The committee will discuss among themselves who should be nominated. The nominating committee will be responsible to approach those brothers/sisters for their acceptance of nomination. The pros of this option are:
openness, but not as open as option #1
save the "face" of any embarrassment/pressure
more people to decide on the best team to serve together.
However, the cons could be:
some brother/sister may still complain why he/she is not nominated
Currently, most of our adult fellowships are using this option.
I hope the above answered your concern. If not or need more clarification, please feel free to call me.
In Christ,
Denis
