Motion #1: Whereas many Synod delegates do not know Synod members from other deaneries, voting for someone unknown, defeats the purpose of a democratic process and further inhibits the communication process. One of the alternatives that needs to be explored is that of having a set number of members elected by each Deanery Council with no election at Synod, and;
Whereas, in these times of fiscal restraints, we need to explore options that will, at the very least, incur no increased costs;
Be it resolved that this Synod direct the Bishop to establish a task force to investigate alternative ways to elect a Diocesan Council. The task force, comprised of members from the Lay Co-Chairs and Regional Deans of the diocese, is to report back to 2010 Synod with options, including maintaining the status quo, for Synod consideration.
Moved by Jane Cartier. Seconded by Michelle Collis-Wongkee. Approved [unanimously] by Deanery Council
Motion #2: Grace Church, Rondeau – Parish Internship Programme.
Regarding Grace Church: Jane reported that St. Paul’s, Erieau had $500 in budget to cover deficit. Dennis on financial situation suggested that ACWs do support (to $100) financial cost as some do now. The mileage and salary are paid by the parish. Money that goes to the student does not help with costs of the parish.
