282 RESOLUTIONS — COMMITTEE 9

2. a. The commission shall be responsible for making available
to the members of the Synod literature which will develop and
deepen among the Synod’s members an understanding and love
for the Lutheran heritage in Christian worship and for the various
media of expression which are needed for our worship.

b. It shall serve as the official commission of the Synod
through which literature related to corporate Christian worship
in liturgics and hymnology and made available through the Synod’s
boards or through Concordia Publishing House shall be cleared;

agencies of the Synod.

advise and warn against the use of worship materials which are
unworthy of use in the Christian worship of the Lutheran Church.

of service books and hymnals which the Synod sees fit to make
available jointly with other synods.

4, The commission shall maintain contacts with the practical

establish principles and practices in liturgics, hymnology, church
music, and church art which best bespeak the true spirit of wor-
ship of the Lutheran Church.

5. The commission shall annually submit a budget to the
Board of Directors of the Synod for recommendation and for ref-
erence to the Fiscal Conference.
