The Process we use to consider resolutions at the Conference is similar to what is used at UCC General Synod. Qualifying resolutions are scheduled for a hearing at the Conference. Participants discuss the resolution and decide whether to recommend it to the full Conference as is, turn it down or amend it and recommend it for passage. Here is the text of the resolutions that will be looked at tonight.
Resolution for Just and Equitable Tax Structure in Washington
Resolution for Abolishing Tax Structure
Resoultion Affirming Health Care Coverage for Clergy Families
Also, their is an amendment to the UCC Constitution that each Conference must consider related to procedures around ministerial authorization. Here is the text of this amendment:
UCC Constitutional Amendment concerning ministerial authorization
A celebration of our life, ministry, and gatherings in the Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Church of Christ
I think the second one is supposed to be Abolishing the Death Penalty.
