I am working on a proofreading job and am having a problem with the following sentences:

There is no conference, presbytery, diocese, or synod meeting that must vote on the formation of an Office of Youth Ministry or the such. When ministry is an open platform, individuals can contribute materials and resources across a various and distributed network.
