amount of time; and

Resolved, That the congregations of the Minnesota North District 
give the c ircuit visitor $50 per diem plus the current IRS mileage 
reimbursement for any requested visit; and be it further 
Resolved, That the Minnesota North District convention 
memorialize the 2026 Synod convention to address the issue of 
providing compensation for circuit visitors.
