GS 1965 ARTICLE 4: Communication from the convening church

The convening Church communicates that it has written to the churches that proposals had to be submitted by August 15. Several proposals, however, were received far too late. The convening Church attributes this in part to the fact that proposals have to come to general synod via classis and regional synod, something the convening Church considers erroneous. It considers that timely receipt of proposals would be facilitated greatly if these were sent directly to the convening church, and then in as many copies as necessary so that a copy is available for each of the future delegates and also for others who need it. Fifty (50) copies would be ideal.

The Synod takes note of these communications.
