Which body is described as including the general overseer, his assistants, the secretary-general and the Council of Eighteen?

• A. International General Assembly
• B. General Council
• C. Council of Eighteen
• D. International Executive Committee

Answer: (D)

The main concept is identifying the church’s executive leadership between international gatherings. The body that includes the general overseer, his assistants, the secretary-general, and the Council of Eighteen is the International Executive Committee. This committee functions as the central leadership group that handles executive decisions and governance when the broader International General Assembly isn’t in session.

Understanding the structure helps: the International General Assembly is the large, representative gathering of delegates rather than an active executive body; the General Council refers to a distinct governance group within the broader system; and the Council of Eighteen, while part of the leadership, is not the full executive body by itself. The International Executive Committee brings together all those roles into one leadership unit.
