Article 23

Internet: Re Appeals

It is proposed by the executive that the first clerk be instructed to keep from the publication of the Acts on the Internet, either at the discretion of the executive or by instruction of Synod, sensitive matters such as appeals by persons. The reason for this is to prevent such situations where an appellant who has made an appeal on a sensitive issue would have people discussing the response to his appeal without he himself knowing the result of his appeal.
