GS 1965 ARTICLE 45: Letter Rev C. de Haan.

As a follow-up to the telephone conversation between Rev. Kouwenhoven and Rev. C. de Haan of Winnipeg referred to in article 31 a letter is received from Rev. de Haan, in which he responds to the announcement, mentioned in article 7, that a letter received before November 15 will still be added to the agenda.

The Synod adopts the following proposal:

• “The Synod has taken note of a letter from “The Consistory of the Canadian Reformed Church of Winnipeg”, c.o. Rev. C. de Haan, expressing gratitude for the willingness of the Synod to extend the date for receiving of an appeal to November 15. In this a number of considerations are expressed outlining the difficulties which the brothers face in submitting an appeal before that date, and the possibilities which they see.
• The Synod decides, having heard this letter, to inform Rev. de Haan by telegraph that he has until November 15 to submit his objections in writing and, if he so wishes, to further explain them orally.”

Br. L. Toet does not vote, as per CO art. 33.
