responsibility of determining the continuation of the roster status of the President
of the Synod under Bylaw 2.27?
Opinion: The Commission in its preceding opinion (01-2240), by deciding that 1992 opinion Ag. 1915
“is the correct one,” has ruled, based upon the Constitution (Art. XI A 2), that only the Synod in
convention has the right to call the President of the Synod to account and to determine the continuation of
his roster status. There is no constitutional authority that gives a District President or synodical VicePresident such responsibility.
227. Adjournment
The business of this special meeting of the Commission having been addressed, the meeting was closed
with the Benediction.

Raymond L. Hartwig, Secretary
