En lenguaje claro

The resolution formally recognizes the church's history, commends its 160 years of service to its community, and wishes it continued success. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the church. The resolution creates no new rules, funding, or legal requirements.
