What does "in an accountable relationship with" mean, as stated within the description of ordained to specialized ministry, commissioning and licensure?
Accountability is not clearly outlined in the rules because it depends on the
particular relationship. The pastor Ordained to Word and Sacrament who leads a
staff team will have a different relationship with those on his/her staff than
the Superintendent has with a solo pastor who needs that accountability
relationship. There is an expected connection but the descriptive details of it
will differ in each situation.
It will be up to those in the accountable relationship to set its parameters.
