A resolution reflects the consensus of delegates attending an annual meeting and does not constitute binding church policy. Resolutions also may be recommended from the floor during the meeting.

Two of the proposed resolutions listed on the business meeting agenda come from the Christian Action Commission. The first, a resolution on our relationship with the poor, will come for a vote during the meeting. The second, a resolution on beginning-of-life issues in biological technologies, will be presented but not voted on.

A third resolution, submitted by the Graham Evangelical Covenant Church of Graham, Washington, express a desire that conformity to a particular view of women in ministry within biblical guidelines shall not be grounds for exclusion of any church, new or existing, from association with the Evangelical Covenant Church or exclusion of any qualified applicant for ministerial license, ordination, or commissioning.
