need of a fellow pastor trained in this field as a consultant and
adviser; and

Wuereas, Boards of directors of city missions now functioning
have need of a trained consultant in this field to advise them when
personnel problems arise; and

Wuereas, There is a pressing need for recruitment of clergy
who may serve in this field in order to take advantage of the many
opportunities open to our church in Federal, state, county, and
city institutions; and

equipped to perform these services, having only one clergyman
on the staff, who is at present overloaded with responsibilities;
therefore be it

Resolved, That The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod pro-
vide a properly trained pastor who shall serve as Institutional
Chaplaincy Consultant in the Department of Social Welfare to per-
form the functions listed above.

Action: This resolution was declined.
