INTERSYNODICAL AND DOCTRINAL MATTERS 645

WuerEAS, The memorials under consideration contain per-
accusations and other matters, all requiring extensive in-
ation; and -

WserEAS, Your Committee, for lack of time, could not effec-.
-act on these matters at this convention; be it therefore
‘Resolved, To refer the charges to Synod’s regularly set-up
‘nnels for action.” (Proceedings, p. 659, 1950.)
‘Complying with this resolution, the Praesidium referred the
Hinent memorials to the Advisory Committee on Doctrine and
ctice. (Cf. list on page 7 of the Report of the A.C. D. P.)

"In August, 1951, the Praesidium received the report of the
“C.D.P. and after study disseminated it under the date of

january 25, 1952.

%.

= Memorial No. 602, p.352 of the 1953 Reports and Memorials,

Yequests that the above-mentioned report of the A.C.D.P. be

*yeferred back to this Committee.

><" Memorial No. 621, p. 366, petitions Synod to reject the report

sof the A.C. D.P. in its present form because, in the opinion of the
signers of the memorial, this report does not present “the Scrip-
‘tural confession of our Synod” on the Church, the Last Things,
Antichrist, and Open Questions.

.. Unprinted Memorial No. 35. In paragraph 1 the author re-
jects ... the report of the A.C.D.P. and “requests Synod to join
him in the repudiation” of this document.

_ Unprinted Memorial No. 61 discusses a “visible side” of the
Church, “the doctrine of the Antichrist,” “Conversion of the Jews,” _
and “Resurrection of the Martyrs” with special reference to the
Brief Statement and the report of the A.C.D.P. The authors of
this memorial claim that the report of the A.C.D.P. rejects
“doctrinal statements of our Brief Statement” and petition Synod
to uphold the Brief Statement over against all contrary positions
and statements, such as they claim are to be found in the report
of the A.C. D.P. .

In response to these memorials your Committee calls attention
to the report of the President of Synod to this Convention on
Wednesday afternoon, June 17, in which he indicated: that after
the report of the A.C. D. P. was made public, a number of pastors
requested a meeting with the President and the Vice-Presidents
of Synod and with members of the A.C.D.P. In his report the
President of Synod stated: “Two meetings were held. The matter

‘is not completed. God willing, another meeting is. to be held.
It is hoped that this will bring the matter to a God-pleasing —
conclusion.”
