No Full-Time Executive Receiving Salary Eligible
as a Voting Member of Any Synodical Board

RESOLUTION 12, COMMITTEE 6

Unprinted Memorial 529, page 52, Today’s Business

who receives his salary either from Synod or from an intrasynodi-
cal organization shall be eligible as a voting member of any synodi-
cal board or commission which receives its appropriation from the
synodical budget; and

Wuereas, Any such general regulation would deprive Synod
of the use of the talents of many able persons who have special
abilities in particular areas of synodical activity; therefore be it

Resolved, That Unprinted Memorial 529 be declined.

Action: This resolution was adopted.

RESOLUTION 13, COMMITTEE 6

Wuereas, This memorial proposes that the present levy of
% cent per communicant member now charged all congregations

increased; and

be it

as follows:

“1.75 Expenses
“b, Synod’s part of the expenses shall be raised by a levy
of one cent (1 cent) per communicant member, each District to
decide how it will raise its proportionate share. The District
Treasurer shall remit the share of his District to the Treasurer of
the Committee on Arrangements not later than the month of
March before the Convention.”

Action: This resolution was adopted.
