Assembly Nominating Committee (GANC).

Two people nominated by last year's moderator, the Rev. Susan Andrews, to the
Nominating Committee  Laura VanDale of the Synod of the Covenant and Elona
Street-Stewart of the Synod of Lakes and Prairies  were challenged by
nominations from the floor, but both prevailed by wide margins.

All Assembly-level nominations are made by the GANC except those to the GANC
itself, which are made by Assembly moderators on a rotating basis. The GANC
has 16 members, one from each synod. Andrews nominated seven  five for the
class of 2010, and two for terms ending in 2008.
