GS 1965 ARTICLE 179: Extra note A. De Vries.
With regard to an extra note by Sr A. De Vries attached to the letter referred to in the previous article, the Synod takes the following decision:
- “From the extra note attached to the letter you have received, dated October 21, 1957 from the Council of the Church of Hamilton, the Synod has understood that you complain about having received this letter after a six-month stay abroad.
- The Synod may only deal with such complaints when they concern a ruling of a Regional Synod. That is not the case with the complaint you submitted to the General Synod. Therefore, the Synod cannot comment further on your writing.
- If you cannot convince the Church Council of the correctness of your complaint, you need to take your complaint to classis.”
