Resolutions
Our original desire to keep this page updated on the status of resolutions has proved ahead of its time and too much work for our single web coordinator. This was a logistics issue -- resolutions existed in various parts in different rooms and under different sessional committee jurisdictions.  When passed, synod organizers spent time checking it against which floor amendments were carried and ensuring the text was accurate.

Here was the text of most resolutions presented to members in their convening circular.
