The committees remits are:

  • to be a point of pastoral care for churches and people within the Link
  • to make decisions required within the policies of Synod and General Assembly (e.g. Appointment of Interim Moderator and Pastorate Review visitors)

  • Link Pastoral Groups are encouraged to use the Buddy System
