Overture to Specify Inactive Members in Official Publications of the Synod’s Roster
WHEREAS LCMS Bylaw 2.11.2 identifies three different classifications of Inactive Members (Emeritus, Candidate, and Non-Candidate); and
WHEREAS the official publications of the LCMS Roster (e.g., The Lutheran Annual and the LCMS website) do not currently differentiate between the various classifications of Inactive Members; therefore be it
Resolved that in all future official publications of the LCMS Roster (including, but not limited to, The Lutheran Annual and the LCMS website) the classification of Inactive membership shall be indicated for all such Ministers of Religion who are Inactive members on the LCMS roster.
