Ministry reform proposed at United Church of Christ General Synod
At the General Synod the United Church of Christ debated a plan to license laity to administer sacraments in local congregations. The proposal would create ordained, commissioned, and licensed ministers, expanding lay roles while sparing action for now. Critics warn of undermining clergy authority and job prospects for women seminarians. The issue, seen as a bellwether for liberal Protestantism, remains under study.
