Action: Adopted as amended (1)
(Ov. 5-01 and 5-05 were removed by amendment. An amendment to remove Ov. 3-75−79 was defeated. Since Ov. 1-23 is addressed by Res. 6-10, it was removed. Ov. 6-05 was added by removing its reference from Res. 6-08. A motion to remove Ov. 3-60
failed.)

RESOLUTION B
WHEREAS, A number of issues have been presented
through overtures to which the Synod in convention has
previously spoken; and
WHEREAS, After careful consideration of these matters,
there appears to be no valid reason to change or alter the
stated position of the Synod; therefore be it
Resolved, That petitioners offering the following overtures
be referred to previous convention actions as indicated.
