Ministers are obliged to inform the Church leadership of any issues of concern that could cause significant material or non-material damage to the Church. This applies especially with respect to suspected cases of sexual assault in pastoral care or the improper handling of monetary offerings.

Ministers will inform leading ministers about any changes to their personal circumstances if these will make their ministerial activity impossible or have a significant negative impact on it.

Convictions for criminal offences can be an impediment to the exercise of one’s ministry. If a minister is expected to be convicted by a court for a criminal offence, the District Apostle or Apostle are to be informed.
