Sauer Wuereas, Dr. Robert C. Sauer has faithfully and tire- lessly served The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in a multitude of capacities for over 40 years; and Wuereas, Dr. Sauer has with a pastoral heart and a gentle spirit courageously confessed the apostolic faith of our Lutheran Fathers; and Wuergas, The Rev. Sauer’s work has been so vital in assisting Dr. J. A. O. Preus and Dr. Ralph Bohlmann in carrying out their duties as synodical Presidents; therefore be it Resolved, That the Synod in convention recognize Dr. Sauer and express its gratitude to our gracious God for what He accomplished through the work of this capable, consecrated servant of the Savior; and be it further Resolved,, That the delegates show their gratitude by rising and joining in singing the doxology. Point of Personal Privilege A delegate asked about the legality or illegality of Res. 5-02A, Section A, which the convention had approved pre- viously. The chairman asked the Committee on Consti- tutional Matters to consider the question. Housekeeping The chairman informed the convention that the Elec- tions Committee would be ready to report to the convention at approximately 5:00 p.m. It was decided to hold devotions thereafter, followed by balloting. The convention decided not to hold a Tuesday evening session. Goals and Resources The convention adopted Res. 4-03 (TB 79), calling for the reviewing of district and national programs, and Res. 4-04 (TB 80) calling for implementation of the Planning Council report. At this point the convention decided to re- ceive the Elections Committee’s report later in the session in printed format. Res. 4-05 (TB 80-81), promoting “Walking Together” in stewardship, was approved, after the convention declined to amend line 16. Res. 4-06 (7B 81-82), encouraging the faithful efforts of the Department of Stewardship and Financial Support, was adopted, with the following changes: (1) In line 38 change the second word to “encourage”; (2) In line 53, after the semicolon, change “therefore be it” to the word “and”; (3) In line 55 change the word “Resolved” to the word “Whereas” and change the rest of the wording of line 55 to read “the department under God’s grace has accom- plished”; and (4) In line 71 change the words “and be it further” to “therefore be it.” Committee chairman Edwin Lehman asked Dr. John E.
