* Note: Although, subsequent to the adoption of the
above overture, the 1965 edition of The Lutheran Annual
has published a roster of directors of Christian education,
a roster of LLTI graduates, and a roster of Winfield graduate

parish workers, it is the consensus of the District that this
has not obviated the need for the above request.

To Honor the Decision of Ohio District
Convention Not to Certify Pastor Carl
Hofimeyer as Delegate to Detroit Convention

Resolved, That we, the members of the Pastoral Con-
ference of Northeast Circuit 4 of the Ohio District of
the Missouri Synod, respectfully petition the Missouri
Synod in convention assembled at Detroit, Mich., June
16—26, 1965, to honor the decision of the Ohio District
convention of 1964 not to certify the pastoral delegate
and the pastoral alternate to the Detroit convention
selected by the Northwest Circuit 2, namely, the Rev.
Carl Hoffmeyer of Immanuel Church, Hamler, Ohio, and
the Rev. Paul Lehenbauer of Peace Church, Deshler,
Ohio, for the following reasons:

1. The Ohio District by an overwhelming majority
adopted a resolution at its convention in 1964 not to
certify the selection of said delegate and alternate to
the Detroit convention on the grounds that they are
incapable of carrying out the provisions of Article 1.55
of the Bylaws of the Synod.
