Add as I.F:

  • Since matters on the agenda of general synod involve the churches in common, regional synods shall distribute copies of adopted overtures to all the churches in the federation no later than five months prior to the convening of a general synod.

Add I.J:

  • The convening church shall arrange to have people present during Synod to assist the clerks in preparing the Acts and to do other paper work.
