1. Not to proceed with the decision in principle to offer fraternal relations
2. To confirm what the 2000 Synod said in principle, namely, to recognise that the RCNZ are true churches of the Lord Jesus Christ,
3. To ask the RCNZ for time and patience so that we can discuss the matter of third parties and the implications of an offer of sister relation with them, and that we can offer sister relations with unity and joy
4. To recognise that the only remaining difficulty with entering into a relationship with the RCNZ is the relationship of the RCNZ with the CRCA
5. To assess the situation with respect to this relation at an upcoming synod to see if this remains a difficulty to entering into full sister-church relations or not
6. To appoint deputies with the following mandate:

1. From the responses of the churches to the decision of the 2000 Synod and from the appeals of the churches it becomes clear that the offer of fraternal relations does not find general acceptance. The RCNZ have rejected this offer as well.
2. All the reports of the deputies have informed us that the RCNZ has the three marks of the true church and thus the decision in principle should now be confirmed.
3. The triangular relationship with the CRCA continues to be a point of division among the FRCA, although we note that the RCNZ maintain this relationship in a Scriptural manner. In order to build consensus among ourselves to what extent the triangular relations should be an impediment, it is best to take time before we offer sister relations, so that it can be done with unity and joy. Hopefully the RCNZ can accept that desire.

e. To continue contacts with the GGRC.
f. To thank deputies for their work and to appoint new deputies and give them the following mandate:
a. To continue to visit the conference/synods of the GGRI and the GGRC subject to available finance;
b. To support the GGRI and GGRC in a well-considered and responsible way with the intention of building up the reformed character of these churches. This will include giving instructions through yearly seminars if finances are available.
c. To financially support br Pila Njuka (along with his family) to complete his studies at Hamilton, monitor his progress, and prepare for his return to Indonesia. To invite him to Australia on his way back to Indonesia. To ask the Indonesian churches how he could best be utilised in their midst, and to support him in the mean time. Where necessary to support his reintegration into Indonesia and among the churches.
d. To monitor and determine the best possibilities to train Indonesian theological students - by either supporting and helping in setting up a college for theological training (for eg., in Kupang) or sending another student overseas to study.
e. To monitor and report developments on the unity of GGRI with the GGRC. Where possible, to encourage these churches to fully put into practice the unity which they already recognise.
f. To provide limited support to ensure that effective communication continues.
g. To financially support Rev Yawan Bunda of the GGRC and in a different year Rev Yan Pariamalinya of the GGRI to study English for three months in Australia. In the case of Rev Yan Pariamalinya this is subject to an expected request from the GGRI deputies. Both requests are subject to financial arrangements with the Dutch deputies and subject to the availability of funding from the churches.
h. To encourage the churches and their members to provide the means of support for the activities of deputies as mentioned in c,d,f, and g above.

a) Visiting the conferences and synods have proven to be helpful especially to establish and maintain personal contacts.
b) These churches have very little means to build up and hold fast to the reformed faith. They have expressed a lot of gratitude for the support they do receive and were particularly thankful for the seminars, some of which were made possible through personal finances. When visiting conferences and synods such seminars could be organised. If there is a year without these assemblies, such seminars are a good means of keeping contact with the office-bearers and members of these churches.
c) In his studies br P Njuka has shown ability to do this work and reports from Hamilton indicate that he will be able to complete it. The Churches of Australia have supported this family and should therefore have the opportunity to see them when the studies have been completed. It is the responsibility of the Indonesian Churches to receive this brother in their midst. Deputies should ask the Indonesian churches how this brother can best help them and support them in this.
d) Br P Njuka will DV complete his studies before next synod. The purpose of sending students to study overseas was to make it possible for the Indonesian Churches to eventually set up their own theological training. With br P Njuka's return three trained men (brothers, Y and E Dethan and P Njuka) will be available to the Indonesian churches to set up such a college.
e) The Lord calls His churches to be joined together. Such unity in Indonesia of the GGRI and the GGRC would also grant the FRCA the blessing of being fully united with all the churches that now meet in two different bonds.
f) Regular communication remains very important. These churches do not have the means to sustain them. Previous Synods agreed that a certain person be supported to keep communications possible. Deputies consider it better (without increasing the amount) to spread this support over more than one person.
g) To support Rev Yawan Bunda in this way is on the request of the Indonesian Churches. The consistory of Rev Yan Pariamalinya made this request and deputies directed them to make their request via their deputies. At one time the Dutch sister churches agreed to pay for the cost of training two students in Australia for a three month period if the Australian Churches pay the costs of travel and take care of accommodations. One such student has been here, namely Madah Biha. This proposal includes to ask the Dutch sister churches to support both these students on the same agreed basis. Deputies propose to support these students seeing that they are both very capable, both have some knowledge of English and improved knowledge is very helpful to study reformed literature.
h) Deputies are to encourage the churches to support this work so that they are enabled to fulfil their mandate.
