Synod’s regulations do not permit Concordia Publishing House a
to republish these items, since they are not always in full agreement B
with Synod’s doctrinal position and therefore cannot pass the
censorium of the faculty of the St. Louis Seminary. We therefore
recommend that Synod authorize the Board of Directors of Con- 4
cordia Publishing House, together with the Literature Board, to .4
devise ways and means of publishing such titles as mentioned
above, or similar items, without violating Synod’s position. oe
The problem of “discovering” new authors in our circles has
been of considerable concern to your Board. We earnestly solicit
manuscripts from men and women in our circles on any subject
within the range of Concordia Publishing House’s publication possi-
bilities. Every manuscript will be carefully read, and its use will
be determined by the service its publication would render to the
Church, We would also appreciate it if our attention would be pe
directed to such as are believed to possess the ability to write for ©
publication, in order that they might be interviewed.

ACTION
Concerning the recommendation on page 429 f., Committee 8
submitted the following resolution, which was adopted by Synod:
Wuereas, The policy of Synod which places censorship of all
books and manuscripts for publication by Concordia Publishing
House into the hands of the faculty of Concordia Seminary,
St. Louis, has contributed toward the preservation of doctrinal
solidarity; and
Wuerzas, It is apparent that many worthy and scholarly theo-
logical works, such as those listed in the report of the General
Literature Board (Memorial 702, page 429) are not generally avail-
able; therefore be it
Resolved, That Synod support the plan, projected by the
General Literature Board, the Faculty of Concordia Seminary,
St, Louis, and Concordia Publishing House, to publish certain
standard works which are considered “must” books for theo-
logical studies and which are not now available on the market;
and that this be done in a manner which is in keeping with Synod’s
declared position.
