Report of the Committee on Hymnology and Liturgies
(Report 710)

During the past triennium Synod’s Committee on Hymnology
and Liturgics has met repeatedly to discuss and carry out the
obligations imposed upon the Committee by Synod. Bearing in

General Rubrics were published also as a fascicle for the conven-
ience of pastors who still use the first edition of The Lutheran
Liturgy and that they might be studied and applied more carefully
by those who attend Synod’s theological seminaries. 2. The volume

necessary corrections were made, notably in the liturgical section.
4. God’s Own Sacrifice Complete was prepared and published for
those who desire a tre-ore service for Lent and Good Friday.
5. The chairman of our committee has been asked by Synod’s
Board for Missions in North and South America to serve as con-
sulting hymnologist and liturgiologist for the publication of a new
