At the General Synod 1998, The Standing Committee for
publication of the Book of Praise suggested that
"Synod appoint a church to develop and maintain a
formal web page of the Canadian and American Reformed
Churches."
After consideration Synod made a recommendation to
appoint a new Committee for the purpose of creating and
maintaining an official web page for the Canadian
Reformed Churches with the following mandate:
- to serve the churches by creating and maintaining
an official web page which would contain official and
semi-official materials that reflect the life of the
churches, are of benefit to the membership, and of
assistance to her witness in this world;
- to report to the next General Synod regarding the
activities and noticeable benefits of this web
page.
General Synod 2004 reappointed this committee, with the
following mandate:
-
To maintain the existing hardware and associated technical functions of the website, purchasing new hardware only if necessary to meet the ongoing needs of the website and if financially responsible;
- To maintain the existing content of the website, revising this content whenever necessary, in particular ensuring that the text of the Book of Praise is the same as that most recently adopted and revised by General Synod;
- To add new content to the website as listed in Observations 3.4.1-3.4.5;
- To provide web services and email services to the churches such as listed in Observations 3.4.6-3.4.7;
- To approve the annual budget of $500.00;
- To serve Synod 2007 with a report to be sent to the churches at least six months prior to the beginning of Synod, including a financial statement and a proposed budget, and any recommendations regarding new content to be added to the website.
Appointed to this committee are J. Hoogerdijk, T. Flach,
Rev. A. Souman, A. van den Hoven, and M. VanderVelde
