The General Assembly direct that the Communion Roll being an essential record for the purposes of the election of office-bearers and the election and calling of a minister shall be submitted annually to the Presbytery by all congregations, for examination.
The General Assembly recognise that only Congregational Meetings called for the purpose of ecclesiastical acts require the authority of a Kirk Session or a superior court, and that the annual Congregational Meeting does not belong to this category.
The General Assembly approve that in the case of ordinary meetings of Presbytery any form of citation other than that apud acta be in the discretion of the Court.
