Congregations Walking Together in Mission Through Conventions To Implement Four-Year Cycle
RESOLUTION 8-20
TF Report (CW TFR, p. 31)
Rationale
Because a constitutional amendment is involved, convention Res. 8-18 will require congregations to ratify the constitutional changes before they become effective.
Because of the time involved in the ratification process, and because convention Res. 8-18 focuses on the frequency of district and national conventions of the Synod, it naturally raises the question of when such a change in frequency might be implemented.
WHEREAS, An immediate adoption of the change in convention frequency to a four-year cycle would result in economic savings; and
WHEREAS, An immediate adoption of the change in frequency would place the next district conventions in 2013 and Synod convention in 2014; therefore be it
Resolved, That following congregational ratification, Article VIII A and B (Res. 8-18) amendments shall be effective immediately; and be it further
Resolved, That, following congregational ratification of Article VIII A and B (Res. 8-18), all elected or appointed to positions in districts or the Synod shall serve an additional year.
Resolveds. 4 year cycle starts now so district conventions would be in 2013 and national convention would be in 2014
What ever I vote for 8-18 and 8-19 I will vote here.
Preliminary Vote: No
