More invisibility...

According to my correspondents, the management of the York Diocesan Mothers' Union is in dire straits. A third of the trustee board have resigned this year. Two triennial elections have had to be repeated because of administrative errors; a third should be repeated for the same reason, and in a fourth election the CV of a candidate was "edited" before being sent to the electorate. The chairman attempted to shelve a strategy paper the trustees had commissioned, and one member of the board adamantly insisted that his is not a trustee appointment despite a very clear paragraph in the constitution saying that it is. A board member criticised the provision of knitted hats for sailors (see the earlier post) and for premature babies in Africa with the words, "They're not even English."

So the provisions of the constitution, any semblance of managerial integrity and even basic Christian charity seem to have become invisible. Ora pro nobis.
