II. ADMISSIBILITY
- A. From the material submitted it appears that sr. A. Burger, sr. W. Sikkema, sr. J. Kruyswijk and sr. A. Sikkema were excommunicated from the church at Grand Rapids, USA.
- B. Since they are appealing a decision of Regional Synod East, November 13-14, 1991 that involves their excommunication, Synod decide to declare this appeal admissible (Art 31 C.O.).
III. RECOMMENDATION
Synod judge that Regional Synod East of November 13-14, 1991 erred in considering that Classis Ontario South of March 13-14, 1991 advanced new grounds with respect to the matters raised in the Appellants’ letter of May 22, l990, items a, b, c and d. Therefore the matter has not been finished at the minor assembly.
