Reject 1938 Resolutions
(Memorial 611) -

Wuereas, The St. Louis Resolutions of 1938 on Union, and so
also the Doctrinal Affirmation, do not constitute single documents
of agreement in doctrine; and

views of church bodies not in doctrinal agreement; now, there-
fore, be it

Resolved, That adoption of the 1938 Resolutions on church
fellowship be rescinded; and be it furthermore

Resolved, That the Doctrinal Affirmation be rejected.
