GS 1971 ARTICLE 39 – Finances for Committees
Committee III presents:
Material – Agenda H, 2 sub III.
- Overture of the Church at Burlington East, Ont.
Information
The Consistory overtures Synod “that one (central) address be established between General Synods”, where Committees appointed by General Synods can declare their expenses, on the grounds that:
- (1) “the Consistory has been informed that such Committees have run into trouble in this respect in previous years”, and
- (2) “all Committees must have the same rights and opportunity for the declaration of their expenses”.
Recommendation
Synod decide:
- a. to appoint a Church to manage a general fund from which expenses, incurred through execution of synodical mandates, will be reimbursed;
- b. to authorize that Church, if the need should arise, to ask the Churches for additional moneys;
- c. to ask that Church to report to the General Synod.
