What has changed?

The following is taken directly from our summary of the changes presented on page 15 of the document:
Based on the feedback garnered at the congregational hearing on Sunday, March 17, 2019, the Leadership Team met on Monday, March 18 and adopted the following revisions:
  1. Made the language “Congregation Meeting” and “Congregation Council” consistent throughout by replacing the word “congregational” with “congregation” and fixing capitalization. Ref: ​C5.06.01.​; ​C5.06.02.c.​ & .d.; ​C5.06.03.c.​; ​C11.01.01.​; ​C11.01.02.​; C13.09.02.​ & .c.
  2. Substituted the language “Congregation Council” in place of “Leadership Team” wherever it occurs for consistency, except in ​C12.04.01.​ (which allows “Leadership Team” to serve as a legally interchangeable term for “Congregation Council”) and C13.09.01.​ (which reflects our current usage in the Leadership Covenant.) Ref: C5.05.01.b.​ & .c.1.; ​C5.06.01.b.​ & .c.
  3. Corrected the typo in the last sentence of ​*C5.04.​ to read, “...the Nebraska Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran...”
  4. Amended the first sentence of ​C12.08.​ to read, “The Congregation Council, or by continuing resolution of this congregation the pastor, shall be responsible for the employment and supervision of the staff of this congregation.”
  5. Adopted continuing resolution ​C12.08A19.​, which delegates authority to the pastor per the amended ​C12.08.
  6. Deleted ​C5.06.02.g.​ and ​C5.06.03.e.​, which granted the Council authority to delegate responsibility for certain parts of the Designated Gifts Fund Policy and Memorial Gifts Fund Policy, respectively.
  7. Added a new subsection g to bylaw ​C5.06.02.​, the Designated Gifts Fund Policy, which now states, “In keeping with this congregation’s belief that gifts to the work of God should be recognized at the time of giving, no permanent recognition of designated gifts shall be established.”
  8. Added a new subsection e to bylaw ​C5.06.03.​, the Memorial Gifts Fund Policy, now states, “In keeping with this congregation’s belief that gifts to the work of God should be recognized at the time of giving, no permanent recognition of memorial gifts shall be established.”
