Overture Submission

Action: Adopted as amended (1)
(The resolution was amended by the addition of Ov. 3-33, referring Ov. 3-36 to Ministry to the Armed Forces rather than the
Praesidium, additionally referring Ov. 5-27 to the Council of Presidents and seminaries, addition of Ov. 6-26, referring Ov. 7-100,
7-101 to the Commission on Constitutional Matters rather than
the President of the Synod, and by deleting Ov. 7-104 and referring it to the floor committee.)

RESOLUTION B
Rationale
Over the years the Synod in convention has spoken to
many issues. At times it has found it necessary to restate
its position because of misunderstanding or because there
was an expressed desire to change the stated position of the
Synod.
It is clearly not physically possible to debate and discuss,
in detail, every issue which has been decided in one or more
previous conventions of the Synod. Again at this convention a number of issues have been presented through overtures to which the Synod, in convention, has previously spoken. After careful consideration of these matters, there
appears to be no valid reason to change or alter the stated
position of the Synod.
Resolved, That petitioners offering the following overtures be referred to previous convention action as indicated:
