MRP-2008:1
From Wesleyan Discipline
- 1. Respectful. All people are infused with intrinsic worth and dignity apart from anything they do (good or bad) since they have been created freely by God as a direct expression of His love. Therefore, all aspects of the restoration process will respect the intrinsic dignity of all concerned, including the offending minister, victims, and congregants. This calls for utmost respect in maintaining high standards of confidentiality on a “need to know” basis regarding all aspects of the restoration process and contents of any proceedings.
