I was on the CC for 15 years and during that time there were endless 
arguments about what the committee did. This was mainly caused by 
Jane's report each year which gave very little detail of action. When 
asked she often stated that their work was of a confidential nature 
and couldn't be discussed. Various members objected to that stating 
that you couldn't have a committee that couldn't revela what it was 
doing. Both points are valid but I am sure some mechanism could have 
been thought out to get round the confidentiality thing. I think it 
was something to do with the information the RBC received which was 
sometimes in advance of the the church in case being informed. I think 
until this is sorted out, the RBC will lack credibility and tends to 
be thought of as a resting place for professional committee people 
rightly or wrongly.
