Some is the proposals coming forward are interesting: 

That the National office remain within a 40 km. radius of 3250 Bloor St.; that it be leased space on a subway corridor; that it be "green office space". (translation: stay in Toronto)

Want to know what happened at the recent meeting of the Executive of the General Council, which was held Nov. 13-15, 2010? A summary is available at http://gc40.united-church.ca/en/gce/meetings2010.

Ann Perry, Program Coordinator, Office of the Moderator and General Secretary

Is the Executive just to do the emergent work of General Council along with designated tasks? Does this happen? Or does General Council Executive make decisions that might be different than the General Council would  make ? I have always wondered.
