820 PARISH EDUCATION

4. That we encourage congregations and high school associa-
tions to seek the guidance of their District boards and of the Board
for Parish Education, and the Board for Higher Education, so that
they may have the benefit of professional guidance in setting up

their program.
Resolution 19

(Book of Memorials, p. 243, par. 9)

Wuereas, Lutheran Education Week has proved to be a real
blessing to the Church in the promotion of Christian education; and

Wuereas, Many congregations have made use of the materials
prepared by the Board for Parish Education for the promotion of
Christian education; therefore be it

Resolved,

1. That the Board for Parish Education continue to foster
Christian education through the Lutheran Education Week; and

2. That Synod make available the sum of $2,500 per annum
for the next triennium for the successful execution of this en-
deavor; and

3. That Synod urge congregations toward a wider participation
in Lutheran Education Week.

Resolution 20

Wuereas, The Sunday School Department of the Board for
Parish Education is responsible for the preparation of materials
to meet the needs of six groups: Nursery, Beginners, Primary,
Junior, Intermediate, and Senior; and

Wuerzas, It is impossible for one man to do justice to so many
age levels, each of which calls for specialized knowledge of child
psychology, of materials and methods; and

Wuereas, The materials that are provided must be up to date
and sufficiently varied to meet the demands of the present age; and

Wuereas, It is unwise and hazardous for a church body as
large as ours to place the entire responsibility for preparing Sun-
day school lessons on one’person; be it

Resolved, That Synod make available to the Board for Parish
Education additional funds, sufficient to engage an assistant editor
of Sunday school literature.

Resolution 21
(Book of Memorials, p. 244, par. 11)

Whereas, Christian education in the local congregation should
embrace the entire range from infancy through adulthood; and

Wuereas, The effort of all the agencies of Christian education
in the congregation must be properly co-ordinated that they may
achieve their utmost in indoctrination and evangelism; and
