, Church — Missouri Synod in June, 1953, for approval

ion or rejection; and

WHEREAS, This document is intended as a basis for fellowship

on the two above-mentioned synods and hence is one of

and far-reaching importance; and

ereAS, Any document of such importance should be

ghly studied, not only by all pastors, but also by the con-

tions and pastoral conferences; and

-WaereAS, Part II of the Common Confession has not as yet

arch 16, 1953) been released for general publication;

BS ‘Therefore the undersigned circuit conference is of the humble

ninion that there will not be sufficient time for all pastors and

Bagregations to thoroughly study this document, nor for any of the

ing pastoral conferences to give it the due consideration it de-

es, and that hence the delegates representing our Church at
he 1953 convention will not have been able by that time to ascer-
fain the convictions of their respective Districts concerning this
-document. Be it therefore
A _ Resolved, That the Vancouver Circuit Conference of the Alberta
, and British Columbia District hereby petition our honorable Synod
fo postpone any action on the proposed Part II of the Common
‘Confession until the 1956 synodical convention.
