The ACTS Member Churches meet three times a year at the Members' Meeting.
One of these meetings incorporates the Annual General Meeting of the Company.
Each Member Church has one Voting Representative at the Meeting though their are variations in the size of delegation to the Members' Meeting according to the membership of each Member Church.
The Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic Church each have four representatives at the Members' Meeting, the Scottish Episcopal Church has three and the other Members have two representatives each.
The Trustees of ACTS also attend the Members' Meeting and the Convener of the Trustee body is also Convener of the Members' Meeting.
The Convenership is held for two years and rotates between the Church of Scotland, Roman Catholic, Scottish Episcopal Church and other member churches.
The purposes of the Members’ Meeting are:
- To be a meeting place for the Members so that they may engage with the charitable purposes of ACTS, namely to further the mission and realise the unity of the Church Universal.
- To provide an opportunity for the Members to worship together.
- To provide a mechanism for inter-church counsel, education and action.
- To provide an opportunity for Full Members to promote, participate in, implement and engage with actions, projects, programmes and initiatives in the fulfilment of ACTS charitable purposes.
- To engage with the Trustees in discussion leading to the setting of ACTS strategy and policy.
- To receive reports on the implementation of ACTS strategy and policy.
- To receive regular reports from the Trustees concerning finance, personnel, governance and day to day management of the company.
- To engage with wider ecumenical fora in Britain and Ireland, Europe and the World.
