Goodsoil Synod Assembly Report - Week 3

At the end of the third week of ELCA synod assemblies this year, the results are shown below for motions that directly spoke to issues we are following in particular. Twenty of 65 synods have held their assemblies and, thus far, the motions that we have some opposition to have either not passed or have been passed in an amended form to which we have no opposition.

We will continue to give you updated information as the synod assembly season continues. For more information about the anti-bullying resolution/memorial, visit http://www.goodsoil.org/.
