14. REFERENCE RESOLUTIONS

(Floor committees availed themselves of the opportunity to refer petitioners to certain
boards and commissons before bringing their concerns to a convention of the Synod
[Resolution A]Jor to refer them to actions already taken by previous conventions [Resolution B}.
Both of these composite resolutions were considered by the convention as part of the agenda-
setting process. At that time the convention had the opportunity of amending both resolutions
by referring specific items back to a floor committee for their further consideration.)
