The Committee on Minister and His Work shall serve as an enabling instrument for the courts, agencies, and congregations of the General Synod who are involved in securing the services of theological students and ministers who desire work or a change of work.

In the exercise of its authority, the Committee on Minister and His Work shall comply with the Standards of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, and its policies and programs shall be consistent with the purpose of the General Synod.

1. To secure and maintain a dossier on all theological students and ministers. The committee shall secure the student's or minister's permission before releasing the dossier to congregations, church courts, agencies of the church courts, or any other group or agency requesting it. (NOTE: Maintained by Administrative Services.) (1992 Minutes of Synod, p. 16)
2. To maintain a list of students who are available for work and a list of ministers who are interested in a change of work.
3. To keep the General Synod informed of the work of our military and/or institutional chaplains and such chaplains informed of the work of the church.
4. To recommend to Synod representatives to the Presbyterian Council on Chaplains.
5. To encourage presbyteries to maintain close ties with their ministers who are serving in work not specifically under the supervision of the presbyteries.
6. To assist the minister in areas of his work so long as it does not usurp the authority and responsibility of the presbytery.
7. To prepare, on a periodic basis, a uniform, written examination for all candidates for ordination, to be administered by the Presbyteries as they think appropriate.

(a) The sole purpose of the examination would be to determine the candidate's knowledge of Bible, theology, church history, church government and pastoral care. The written examination would not solicit the candidate's personal views on issues, but would leave that part of the examination to the presbyteries when the candidate would have the opportunity to elaborate upon his personal views.
(b) The written examination would not prohibit the Presbytery from asking additional questions about the candidate's knowledge of the Bible, theology, church history, church government and pastoral care. The purpose of the written exam is to provide the Presbytery with advanced information about the candidate's knowledge and to permit the Presbytery more time to evaluate the candidate's personal views and his ability to apply his knowledge to life situations.
(c) It is understood that the uniform written examination would be only one aspect of the overall evaluation of the suitability of the candidate for ministry.

8. To submit an annual operating budget to the General Synod.
9. To make an annual report to the General Synod.
