  "text": "(This is not part of the Order)\nThis Order contains amendments to sections 34, 39, 40 and 45 of and Schedule 4 to the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 which are consequential on the provisions of the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Measure 2009.\nThe amendments to section 34 restore the distinction in that section (mistakenly removed by repeals to the Pastoral Measure 1983 in Schedule 2 to the 2009 Measure) between deacons appointed to serve as members of a team ministry and other deacons.\nThe amendment to section 39 relates to pastoral schemes which result in the abolition of ecclesiastical offices and, by adding a reference to offices held under Common Tenure, remedies an omission in the 2009 Measure.\nThe amendments to section 40 and Schedule 4 relate to compensation of clergy for loss of office as a result of a pastoral scheme and restore the position to that which existed under provisions of the Pastoral Measure 1983 which were mistakenly amended by Schedule 2 to the 2009 Measure and carried through into the 2011 Measure.\nThe amendments to sections 45 and 106(1) add provisions to enable a pastoral scheme to provide for the transfer of a parsonage house or land to a Parsonages Board for the purposes of its functions under the 2009 Measure or the transfer to an incumbent of land held by a Parsonages Board for the purposes of those functions.",
