History
BC Conference introduced the position of presbytery officer in several presbyteries between 1969 and 1973. The aim was to divide up the work of the two Superintendents of Home Missions in the Conference, and to improve communication between the Conference and the presbyteries. The position was conceived of as a resource for the presbytery, providing coordination, consultation and counselling for all levels of the church within the presbytery, as well as serving ecumenical functions at the local level. George Affleck was appointed to the position (originally named Comox-Nanaimo-Victoria Presbytery Officer) in 1973, and served in that capacity until 1976. He was succeeded by Leslie U. Clark (1976-1982) and William L. Howie (1982-1996), after which the position was discontinued. Two separate Conference Ministers for Victoria Presbytery and Comox-Nanaimo Presbytery were introduced in 2008.
