Committee 13: Routes to Ministry
Res. 13-04B “To Clarify Colloquy Requirements” (TB, p. 467f.—
Wednesday issue) had been referred back to the committee (see
Session 5 minutes, Res. 13-04A). The committee noted that the
bylaws governing colloquy are accompanied by a policy manual
that contains much of what had once been in the bylaws, addressing
the concerns previously raised during discussion of Res. 13-04A.
Debate was ended [Yes: 738; No: 101], and Res. 13-04B was adopted
by voice vote as presented.
The committee completed its work by calling attention to Res.
13-05 (TB, p. 176—preconvention issue), noting that its one over“Convention Minutes”

ture, Overture 13-48, had already been addressed by an earlier
convention action, making it unnecessary to bring Res. 13-05 forward for convention action.

As Committee 12 was preparing to present its proposed resolutions, a delegate sought the attention of the chair and requested that
the convention address Res. 3-04 “To Create Task Force for Study
of Issues Relating to Procreation, Fertility, and Care for Unborn”
(TB, pp. 59f.—preconvention issue), which had been bypassed earlier. The assembly voted to consider Res. 3-04 [Yes: 879; No: 79] and
the chair asked the assembly whether it was ready to vote. Hearing no objection, he called for the vote and Res. 3-04 was adopted
as printed [Yes: 924; No: 41].
Res. 12-05A “To Expand Composition of Hearing Panels (2.14,
2.15, 2.17)” (TB, pp. 374ff.—Monday issue) was introduced by the
committee. The chair hearing no objection to calling the vote, Res.
12-05A was adopted as presented [Yes: 977; No: 40].
Res. 12-07A “To Clarify Definition of Dissent” (TB, pp. 370f.—
Part 2, Sunday issue) was introduced and explained by the
committee. After discussion by the assembly, a motion to end
debate was introduced and carried [Yes: 680; No: 273] and Res.
12-07A was adopted as presented [Yes: 684; No: 244].

Committee 11: Structure and Administration
Committee 11 received assistance from CCM Chairman George
Gude, who provided brief summaries for the assembly of the following resolutions which the committee wished to bundle into a
single action by the convention as “housekeeping matters”:
•	Res. 11-04B “To Change Bylaws re Certification and
Verification of District Convention Delegates” (TB, p. 429—
Tuesday issue)
•	Res. 11-08A “District Administration and Electoral Circuit
Requirements” (TB, pp. 357ff.—Part 2, Sunday issue)
• Res. 11-11 “To Clarify Convention Matters” (TB, pp. 143f.—
preconvention issue)
• Res. 11-12 “To Clarify Synod Administration Matters” (TB,
pp. 144ff.—preconvention issue)
• Res. 11-13 “To Update Bylaw 2.12.1.4 to Include Mention
of Office of National Mission” (TB, pp. 149f.—preconvention issue)
• Res. 11-15A “To Amend Bylaw re Responsibilities of
Commission on Constitutional Matters” (TB, pp. 373f.—
Monday issue)
• Res. 11-17 “To Establish Representation at Synod Conventions for the Boards for National and International
Mission” (TB, pp. 380f.—Part 2, Sunday issue)
• Res. 11-20 “To Clarify and Confirm the Distinction
between Synod and Corporate Synod and to Provide
Consistency for the Meaning of ‘Property of the Synod’
re Definition of Property of the Synod” (TB, pages 383f.—
Monday issue)
Following the explanations provided, the chair asked the assembly whether it was ready to vote. Hearing no objection, he called for
