Thomas A. Twilleager Complainant/Appellant

v.

Session, Central Presbyterian Church, Merced, CA Respondent/Appellee

Remedial Case 214-4
This remedial case has come before this Commission on appeal by Thomas Twilleager (Appellant) from a decision of the Permanent Judicial Commission of the Synod of the Pacific. Pursuant to D-8.0301, the General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission examined the papers and have determined that the Commission has jurisdiction, the stated appellant had standing to file an appeal from a Synod Permanent Judicial Commission decision, and that the appeal was timely filed; however, the notice of appeal was not signed by the Appellant, due to his death, and the notice of appeal fails to state one or more of the grounds of appeal set forth in D-8.0105. It is therefore ordered that this case be dismissed.

The Commission expresses its sympathy to Mrs. Rowena Twilleager on the death of her husband, praying that she will find the healing love of God in her time of bereavement. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Stated Clerk of the Synod of the Pacific report this decision to the Synod at its first meeting after receipt, that the Synod enter the full decision upon its minutes, and that an excerpt from those minutes showing entry of the decision be sent to the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of Stockton report this decision to the Presbytery at its first meeting after receipt, that the Presbytery enter the full decision upon its minutes, and that an excerpt from those minutes showing entry of the decision be sent to the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Session of the Central Presbyterian Church, Merced, CA, report this decision at its first meeting after receipt, that they enter the full decision upon its minutes, and that an excerpt from those minutes showing entry of the decision be sent to the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly. Leon Fanniel and Mildred Morales, members of the Commission, were not present for the deliberations and final decision.
