Resolved, To amend Section 4.5, “Ordination of Candidates,”
to read:

“A candidate for the ministry may be ordained only when he
has received a legitimate call from and to a certain congregation
and after previous examination has been found to be sound in
doctrine, apt to teach, blameless in life, has made application for
membership in Synod, and has submitted a request for ordination
to the respective District President.”

Faculty Representation at Synodical Conventions
(Memorial 509)
Wuereas, Synod’s future called workers receive their initial

professional understandings of, and attitudes toward, Synod during
their college training period; and

Wuereas, Those who are instructing future church leaders shall

themselves be well informed in synodical matters and adminis-
tration; and

Wuereas, Membership in larger faculties under the present
policy (Synodical Handbook Regulation 1.59 permits two members
besides the president for teachers’-college faculties) greatly limits
the opportunity for attending synodical conventions; therefore

The faculty of Concordia Teachers College, Seward, Nebr.,
respectfully petitions Synod to alter the present policy to permit
and to make mandatory that each faculty member be a representa-
tive at a synodical convention at least once every nine years.
