The Discipline Committee assures due process for discipline of rostered leaders, congregations, and members of congregations when conflict, boundary violations, and breaches of trust occur. They conduct hearings as described in chapter 20 of the Constitution of the ELCA Bylaws and make recommendations to the Bishop and Synod Council regarding disciplinary action. The Discipline Committee is elected during the Synod Assembly and serves a six year term.
