Montana/Wyoming Congregations of the Montana Synod,
The following paragraph from the 2021 Montana Synod Assembly Proposed Rules of Organization and Procedure outlines the process for accepting resolutions for the 2021 Montana Synod assembly. Please follow this guidance when considering submitting a resolution.
“Resolutions submitted by the April 1st deadline will be considered by the Resolutions Committee and presented to the Synod Assembly, if appropriate. Due to the time constraints of a virtual assembly, resolutions and memorials will not be accepted from the floor of the assembly. Only resolutions and memorials submitted in writing by April 1, 2021 will be considered for presentation to the assembly. The Memorial and Resolutions Committee will only consider those resolutions and memorials which are of critical importance to the Montana Synod or ELCA over the next year.”
“Critical importance” mean that the resolution is immediate and necessary for us to consider at this year’s assembly (June 2021), recognizing the difficulty of having healthy deliberation over an all-digital platform. “Over the next year” means until the 2022 Synod Assembly.
Guidance on writing a memorial can be found at https://www.elca.org/About/Churchwide/Office-of-the-Secretary/Memorials-and-Resolutions
Please submit resolutions via e-mail to the Montana Synod Office at cstandall@montanasynod.org by April 1, 2021.
