GS 1977 ARTICLE 11 – Airlines Clergy Bureau

Committee IV presents:

Material –

Agenda 8, M, 1 – Letter from Airlines Clergy Bureau, 3030 Mayhew Road, Sacramento, California 95826, U.S.A.

Observations

  • 1. This bureau lists a number of Airlines which give a 50% discount on airfares to be paid by ministers, including missionaries, and by religious workers.
  • 2. An application form shows that for each and every application a $20.00 annual membership fee is to be paid.
  • 3. From the application form it is also clear that this is not a matter which cannot be dealt with by each Church on its own.

Conclusion

This is a matter which is not in the province of Synod.

Recommendation

General Synod confine itself to taking note of this letter.
