Resolutions Considered
June 17th, 2009Saturday morning was the occasion of the report from the Committee on Resolutions and Reference. They delivered four resolutions that came from the people and committees of the Annual Conference.
Resolution 1: The substitute resolution from the Committee on Disability Concerns in “Favor of Tobacco-Free Environments” was passed by the Conference without amendment.
Resolution 2: The Conference and General Church Boards of Church and Society resolution was on the “Priority of Health and Wellbeing.” The sponsors made one change by deleting a phrase in part 6: “on a single payer basis.” With this change, the resolution passed.
Resolution 3: A resolution to “Evaluate and Overhaul the Criminal Justice System,” proposed by the Committee on Criminal Justice and Mercy Ministries, passed as written.
Resolution 4: This resolution from Rev. James E. Malloy, Jr., asked that churches place a wheelchair in their lobby. The body did not adopt this resolution.
