America and therefore places theological students enrolled there
into a disadvantageous position as to field work and practical ex-
perience and as to the over-all work of the church; and

Wuereas, The number of theological students enrolled at Im-
manuel is small compared with the high cost of maintaining the
department; and

Wuereas, The institution serves other purposes in addition to
preparing students for the ministry, and the number of theological
students enrolled is small compared with the entire enrollment,
which creates an unfavorable atmosphere for theological stu-
dents; and

Wuereas, The students now enrolled at Immanuel Theological
Department could easily be enrolled at sister institutions with
little or no additional cost to the Synodical Conference of North
America; ieee

Therefore the Holy Sacraments Ev. Lutheran Church of
St. Louis, Mo., petitions The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod
at its 1956 convention at St. Paul, Minn.,

a) to recommend that the Theological Department at Greens-
boro, N.C., be closed, and to express to sister synods of the
Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference of North America its
willingness to accept students now enrolled at Immanuel Lutheran
Theological School, as well as any other students from our Negro
field desiring to study for the ministry, with proper academic
qualifications, into our theological schools at St. Louis, Mo., and
Springfield, Ill;

b) to request that our Lutheran Synodical Conference of North
America close the Theological Department of Immanuel Lutheran
College at Greensboro, N.C.
