PARISH EDUCATION 821

Wuereas, The promotion and supervision of Christian educa-

tion in the local congregation can best be carried on by a single

. Board of Christian Education, which is in charge of all agencies;
therefore be it

Resolved, That all congregations of Synod be urged to estab-

lish such Boards of Christian Education, which shall

1. Promote and supervise all agencies of Christian education

in the local congregation;

2. Study the educational needs of the congregation and recom-

mend appropriate agencies for supplying their needs;

3. Work for the co-ordination of the efforts of home, church,
and school.

Resolution 22
(Memorial 202, p. 246)

Wuereas, Synod twelve years ago expressed the wish that “the
time may soon come when no teacher will teach in a Missouri
Synod Sunday School who has not received at least some train-
‘ ing”; and

Waereas, An excellent program of Sunday school teacher
training has been worked out by the official committee; be it

Resolved,

1. That we commend the Sunday School Teacher Training
Committee for their work in developing and expanding the pro-
gram of teacher training; and

2. That all congregations be encouraged to sponsor our syn-
odical teacher training program.

Resolution 23

(Book of Memorials, p. 242, par. 6)
Wuereas, The Sunday school falls far short of providing enough
time for religious instruction; and
Wuereas, Vacation Bible schools, Saturday schools, and re-
leased-time classes offer unique additions to the educational pro-
gram of a congregation; and
Wuereas, Excellent materials are being produced for use in
these part-time agencies; and
Wuereas, These agencies have strong missionary potentialities,
which should not be overlooked; therefore be it
Resolved, That we urge all congregations to study ways and
means of providing additional time for religious instruction through
these various part-time agencies.
