In accordance with the [[ChurchFutureScProposal|Steering Committee's recommendations]], Elders were asked to stand down, making this page of mainly historical interest.

(Note: Minutes are intended to be a more detailed record of the meeting, while reports are usually summaries of the key points of discussion.  In recent times, the distinction has been blurred, since agendas have not been published, and meetings have been more informal with less structure.  The future records are left to the discretion of elders, rather than wiki editors.)

 * see the RosterSaltCurrent page, which replaces the old !RosterEldersCurrent page (past 52 weeks: SaltRosterPrevious)
 * duty preferences: (page !SaltRosterPreferences has since been deleted)
 * statement of duties: WorshipPartnerDuties
 * vestry prayers: The !EldersPrayersOfThePeople page has been renamed to WorshipPrayersOfThePeople, and copies of past prayers are available at WorshipPrayersPeopleText

One of the tasks for the vestry Elder is to deliver the Prayers for Others (aka Prayers of the People) each service.  Details of this are on the separate page WorshipPrayersPeopleText.

== Who is an Elder? ==
Note that the Uniting Church also suggests that the term ''Leader'' may be used instead of Elder.  See [[http://assembly.uca.org.au/images/stories/Regulations/0912regulations.pdf|Regulation 3.1.10]]

 1. The [[EldersGroup]] page lists the Elders as in the church rolls database. It is this page that defines access to pages designed to be accessible to Elders, so check here if you have access problems.
## 1. The EldersContactList page gives the contact details (email, address, telephone) of each elder.

Note that these pages are protected, so that '''only elders''' can alter them. The first page can be read by users who are logged in (basically any church member), while the second page cannot be read by anyone other than an elder. This is done for privacy reasons.

== Covenant between Elders and Church Council ==
