Synod to Pay Part of Transportation Costs
When Men are Called into Another District
(Memorial 208)

Wuereas, Many pastors and teachers throughout Synod have
served congregations successfully and faithfully and are capable
of rendering greater service to the Kingdom in larger congre-
gations of Synod where they may use their God-given talents to
greater advantage; and

Wuereas, It is difficult at times to advance such pastors and
teachers to more important charges within the boundaries of their
respective Districts; and

Wuereas, Transportation expenses involved in calling such pas-
tors and teachers to other Districts of Synod are so costly as to
cause other Districts to hesitate in calling such able men into fields
where they are capable of serving larger congregations; there-
fore, be it

Resolved, That in order to encourage the calling of such pastors
and teachers into larger fields of endeavor in other Districts, General
Synod pay transportation costs of such pastors and teachers to
the boundary line of the Districts to which they have been called,
the calling congregations to assume the expenses from the boundary .
line to their respective congregations.

ACTION

Upon recommendation of Committee 11 Synod adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:

Wuereas, Larger congregations are capable of paying the trans-
portation cost of their pastors and teachers elect; and

Wauerzas, The payment of such transportation cost by Synod
would involve large expenditures of synodical money; therefore
be it

Resolved, That we reject Overture 208.
