Board of Directors ‘Res. 5-06). No action was needed on Resolution 5-06, which declined a suggested change regarding the Board of Directors, since this change was not necessary. Q. Synod’s Name ‘Res. 5-23), Executive Sessions (Res. 5-32). It decided to refer these matters to the Anaheim convention for consideration. R. Title to Congregational Properties (Res. 5-31). The board resolved to support the conclusion that present provisions seem to be adequate. S. Election of BHE (Res. 5-33). Since the New Orleans con- vention was history, the board concluded that this resolution was no longer pertinent. T. Circularization ‘Res. 5-35). The board endorsed this resolution since it merely reaffirmed actions of a previous convention. U. Saskatoon ‘Res. 6-17). The board was unable to take the action proposed since the Commission on Constitutional Matters ruled that the Synod had never formally established a pastoral training program in Canada. V. Portland Request ‘Res. 6-21). Since the original overture had been withdrawn, no action on this resolution was necessary since it merely acknowledged the withdrawal. W. Faculty Tenure ‘Res. 6-24).

Expansion of Ann Arbor and Milwaukee Programs (Res. 6-29). The board resolved to inform the Board for Higher Edu- cation to hold any implementation of this proposed resolution in abeyance until the task force appointed to study the Synod’s program of higher education has completed its work and the Synod in convention has given its directions.
