* Originally numbered S10.09 in the constitution of the WV-WMD Synod, this local provision (i.e., a provision note found in the Constitution for Synods) was adopted by WV-WMD before the Churchwide Assembly adopted S10.09 in the Constitution for Synods. This creates a numbering problem in that two provisions would have the same number. It is considered an editorial change to fix such enumeration problems.

• †S8.51.c. [The terms of office of the officers of this synod shall be as follows:] The treasurer of this synod shall be elected appointed to a term of 4 2 years and may be re-elected reappointed. The treasurer shall serve until a successor takes office. {note well: the four (4) is being struck and replaced with two (2); because of typesetting, the strikethrough on the 4 is difficult to see}
