opportunity for each congregation to elect its representatives to the meeting in the manner prescribed by
its Constitution and Bylaws and to submit the nomination of a layperson to the Circuit Counselor(s) prior
to the day of the meeting.
Question 2:

Does subscription to a non-approved confessional statement (“That They May Be One” or
“The Keller Resolution”) invalidate the election of a delegate to the synodical convention?

Opinion: Members of the Synod continue to hold all rights under the Constitution and Bylaws of the
Synod with the single exception of individual members on suspended status. While individual members
are on suspended status, they may continue to perform the duties of the positions they hold, but they are
relieved of their duties as members of the Synod, including service as a delegate to a convention of a
District or the Synod (Bylaw 2.25 b).
178. Adjournment
All business to come before the Commission having been attended to, the meeting was adjourned with
prayer.
