April/May 2020
May Assembly for Tasmanian Baptists
IMPORTANT INFORMATION RE OUR NEXT ASSEMBLY
We were to have met as a Union on Friday/Saturday May 8-9.
Due to the impact of COVID-19, and the restrictions placed on us by government authorities, we cannot meet in-person, as normal.
Secretaries have been informed of the process, outlined below.
This process allows for us to attend to the minimum necessary to enable the Union to function.
The proposed is a departure from our constitutional procedure. So the decisions made, and the process used, will be ratified at the next "normal" assembly, hopefully in October.
If you have any questions please contact Chair, Peter Clark; Administrator, Rodney Marshall; or Mission Director, Stephen Baxter.
