tion to the fulfillment of any other synodical regulations or classical approv-
als:
1. Nomination by the council and election by the congregation
2. An extension of a call by the council
3. Approval of the counselor who acts on behalf of classis

ship service is optional in the case of a minister serving on loan to a
congregation in another denomination.
