INTERSYNODICAL AND DOCTRINAL MATTERS 525

Wuereas, The report of the Advisory Committee on Doctrine
and Practice has dealt at length and adequately with Dr. Arndt’s
essay and the objections thereto; and

Wuereas, The revised report of the Advisory Committee on
Doctrine and Practice has been distributed to the members of
Synod and publicly exhibits its eminent fairness; therefore be it

Resolved, (a) That we commend the Advisory Committee on
Doctrine and Practice for its work; and be it further

Resolved, (b) That this Convention approve the 1956 revised
report of the Advisory Committee on Doctrine and Practice which
was adopted and published by the Praesidium, with the under-
standing that the judgments expressed regarding any points of
doctrine of the American Lutheran Church are made on the basis
of the declarations of the Commissioners of the American Lu-
theran Church.

Norte: This answered Unprinted Memorials 12 and 19, asking
that the revised report of the Advisory Committee on Doctrine
and Practice be rejected.

Concerning Other Doctrinal Errors Publicly Advocated
Within The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod
(Memorial 614)

We also earnestly and urgently call upon Synod as well as
upon its responsible officials as obligated under Articles XI and XII
of the Synodical Constitution, promptly and without respect of
persons to admonish all members of Synod who have publicly
advocated or are advocating false doctrines and unscriptural prac-
tices and insist upon correction and retraction. In matters in which
responsible officials themselves are directly involved, we ask that
Synod itself take the necessary action. For a partial list of errors
not mentioned in this memorial see the sections entitled “Inter-
synodical and Doctrinal Matters” in the Proceedings of the 1947,
1950, and 1953 conventions and in the columns of the Confessional
Lutheran (address: Box 27, Morrison, Il.).
