GS 1965 ARTICLE 77: Correspondence Foreign Churches.

The Advisory Committee’s report on the report of deputies for correspondence with foreign Churches is currently under discussion, Agenda item 8 L 2.

As per the proposal of this committee, the Synod decides:

• “to fulfil the request of the deputies for correspondence with foreign Churches appointed by the Synod of Die Vrije Gereformeerde Kerke in Suid-Afrika, namely, to send them three copies of the reports concerning the (liturgical) forms and confessions.”

The Synod further decides:

• “re the request of The Free Reformed Churches of Australia to consult in advance on revision or expansion of the Confession, Church Order and Liturgy (except in cases where changes in the church order are required by the circumstances or customs of the country in which the church is located); to deal with this request as point 8 L 3.”

 Part of the report is referred back to the committee, as is the report on the Church of Barrhead’s proposal on the Rules for Correspondence, 8 L 1.
