GS 1977 ARTICLE 78 – Information Flow

Committee II presents:

Material

– Agenda 8, A, 7

Observations

–   Letter of the Ebenezer Church, Burlington, Ontario.

• 1.  This Church has noticed that, when overtures re: the College are made, it some­ times happens that the Board of Governors and the Faculty are not informed.
• 2. This Church suggests that Synod express itself on this matter, and recommend
  • “that from now on copies of overtures by Churches re the College also be sent to the Board of Governors and the Faculty land, if needed, the Board of Trustees).”

Consideration

When overtures are made to Synod that have to do with the Constitution of the College, it is desirable that the Board of Governors in the first place, and, if ap­plicable, the Faculty, respectively the Board of Trustees. receive a copy of such an overture.

Recommendations

Synod decide

• 1. to concur with the suggestion of the Ebenezer Church at Burlington;
• 2. and accordingly to request the Churches that, when they send overtures to Synod which have to do with the Constitution of the College, they send a copy of such an overture to the Board of Governors in the first place, and, if applicable, to the Faculty, respectively to the Board of Trustees, for their information.
