Press Statement - Former Bishop Paul Verryn Suspended
For immediate release
The Methodist Church of Southern Africa would like to confirm that the former Bishop of the Central District, Paul Verryn, has been suspended.
He has been charged with transgressing the Laws and Discipline (L&D) of the Church – essentially the constitution of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa.
The hearing will be held on the 1st of February, 2010, in Johannesburg, facilitated by the District Disciplinary Committee, which is appointed in terms of the L&D.
In terms of the L&D, the committee is to meet within a period of 21 days after receiving the charge.
This committee has the power and duties to impose a sanction it deems fit.
The Central Methodist Church will continue to run under the new Bishop, Peter Witbooi, who is responsible for the administration of the District.
