Three Proposed Resolutions on Annual Meeting Agenda
CHICAGO, IL (June 12, 2003) - Three proposed resolutions likely to generate
discussion are on the agenda for consideration by delegates attending the
118th Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Covenant Church June 25-28 in
Rosemont, Illinois.
A resolution reflects the consensus of delegates attending an annual
meeting and does not constitute binding church policy. Resolutions also may
be recommended from the floor during the meeting.
Two of the proposed resolutions listed on the business meeting agenda come
from the Christian Action Commission. The first, a resolution on our
relationship with the poor, will come for a vote during the meeting. The
second, a resolution on beginning-of-life issues in biological
technologies, will be presented but not voted on.
A third resolution, submitted by the Graham Evangelical Covenant Church of
Graham, Washington, express a desire that conformity to a particular view
of women in ministry within biblical guidelines shall not be grounds for
exclusion of any church, new or existing, from association with the
Evangelical Covenant Church or exclusion of any qualified applicant for
ministerial license, ordination, or commissioning.
