Standing High Council

Standing High Council

The Standing High Council of the Community of Christ is comprised of 12 persons holding the office of High Priest. The right to call members to the Council resides in the First Presidency and the call is sustained by a vote of the Community of Christ World Conference. The only mention of the council in the current church bylaws refers to their authority to approve church judicial procedures presented by the First Presidency. In practice, however, they also issue policy statements at the request of the First Presidency, such as the 1982 Standing High Council Statement on Homosexuality and the 1997 Standing High Council Statement on Privileged and Confidential Communications.

Current members of the Standing High Council are: William Barnhard, Gwendolyn Hawks-Blue, Kent G. Bradford, Dennis Clinefelter, Sharon Clothier, Don H. Compier, Sherri Kirkpatrick, C. William Kramer, Jerry Mogg, Scott Roberson, Kathy Robinson and Patricia Trachsel.
