‘and management of Lutheran centers for men in the armed forces,
‘Emergency Planning Council activities, social work); and
.Wuereas, Recent publications approved by Synod, such as
Toward Lutheran Union by Drs. Theo. Graebner and P. E. Kretz-
mann, define and endorse such co-operative efforts as not contrary
to the doctrine and practice of Synod; and
Wuereas, The Lutherans of America and of the world face
* great dangers caused by an increasing secularism and by a well-
~ planned and systematic encroachment of the Church of Rome; and

Wuereas, Such dangers can best be met and possibly obviated
by a co-operation in externals such as the National Lutheran
Council affords; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Missouri Synod direct its responsible of-
ficers to make formal application for membership in the National
Lutheran Council and that the Missouri Synod accept the duties
and responsibilities of such membership under the constitution of
the National Lutheran Council as adopted March 18, 1926.
