Oregon Synod Constitution

December 3, 2008

Dear Members of the Oregon Synod,
The Synod Council recommends the following changes to the Synod's Constitution.  These are technical changes and generally not substantive, however it is important to make them widely known in a timely fashion prior to our May 22-24, 2009 Synod Assembly.

Our constitution calls for such notification to be made 6 months prior to the Assembly itself.  That deadline was just prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday and we've missed it by 11 days.  This information was emailed to congregations December 3, 2008 and it is our hope that everyone will accept our efforts as being in the spirit of the law and acceptable notification.  If you have concerns about our error in timing please let us know in the synod office.
