Resolved, That the General Convention Secretariat is requested to make provisions for the members of each House conveniently to indicate that they either are tithing or are firmly committed to tithing within five years, by signing their name and clearly printing their name and diocese, or, if they feel it inappropriate to make such a private matter public, signing and clearly printing the word “Anonymous” and giving either their state of residence or the state or foreign country where they were born; and be it further
Resolved, That the record of names and “Anonymous” signings be published in the Convention Journal and in such other Church publications as the Presiding Bishop may designate.
