tion of our services. The moneys made available are a subsidy
for publication to bring the book to a wider market.

4. Church-State Relations

This project is to be a re-evaluation of the Lutheran position
on church-state relations, based on Scripture and the Lutheran
Confessions, with special reference to contemporary problem areas
and emerging trends in political and social life. This project is
under the leadership of Dr. A. G. Huegli, who is working with
the Committee on Church-State Relations of the Board for Parish
Education.

5. Vestments in the Lutheran Church

This is one of the projects of the School for Graduate Studies
at Concordia Seminary. The brochure is an exhaustive study of
clerical vestments as used in the Lutheran Church of Europe since
the days of the Reformation. The manuscript was written by
Dr. Arthur Piepkorn.

The Committee on Scholarly Research provided a publication
subsidy to print 500 copies of this work.

6. Symposium on Theology, Psychology, and Psychiatry

The purpose of this project is to prepare a basic document
for use by pastors, psychiatrists, and psychologists, in which the
terminology, interest, and concerns of each of the three will be
set forth in the light of the others. The entire book will reflect
the Biblical view of man. A committee of five persons is working
on this project under the general direction of the School for
Graduate Studies at Concordia Seminary. The participants are
the following: Dr. H. Richard Klann, Lutheran pastor for students
in Greater New York, Theology; Dr. Paul Meehl, Head of the
Department of Psychology of the University of Minnesota, Psy-
chology; Dr. Sophie Sloman, University of Illinois Medical School,
Chicago, Il., Psychiatry; Dr. Alfred Schmieding, Concordia Teach-
ers College, River Forest, Ill.; and Dr. Kenneth Breimeier, Con-
cordia Seminary, St. Louis.

1. A Lutheran Philosophy of Education

The purpose of this project is to carry out the direction from
Synod that the Board for Parish Education develop a treatise on
the Lutheran point of view in education. The Committee, under
the leadership of Dr. Paul Bretscher, is shaping up a skeletal
framework for the volume and involving a number of participants
to assist in writing the book.
