= Presbytery of Port Phillip East =
Report of presbytery In Council, 13 Jul 2013.

In the Cornish College Gymnasium, fortunately well heated!

0. Devotions outside - connect us with the earth, with our surroundings

1. Reports - no big issues

2. Two very interesting candidates:
   a. Paulo Kwajakwan - for selection
   a. Claire Dawes - for ordination

4. both candidates approved.

3. Somers report - exciting camp for youngsters.

5. BOMAR application
   only one, for joint Cornish College and Presbytery to develop mission avenues for the college (through appointing a Director of Mission).  Proposed by Robert Johnson and Jay Robinson.  Some exciting discussion, and useful feedback to the proposing committee.  Some reservations expressed about embarking upon such a project at the current time, given the Acacia College scenario.  Thought was that the project would call upon funds with a very specific purpose, and not affect the general "special circumstances" situation.

6. Special Circumstances - updates.  Difficulties about to begin.  Firstly looking for voluntary offers of property - responses from congregations by 4 Aug!!  Added to Council agenda.
