Text Box: Synod Bylaw, Part III, Section 1e states: “Each congregation or employing agency shall pay the registration fee of its delegate(s). In the case of a pastor serving a multiple-congregation parish, such expenses shall be borne by the congregations pro rata on the basis of baptized membership. Those pastors serving under a call issued by the Synod Council, and serving in agencies which do not allow funding of Synod Convention costs, may apply to the Synod Council for permission to attend at Synod expense.” Synod Council interprets the above by-law to mean people who have a Letter of Call and not those who are On Leave from Call or Temporarily Without Call. Those requesting to attend the convention at Synod expense must submit their request to synod council by March 15, 2008.
