To Establish Boundary Line of Ohio District
in Kentucky

Wuereas, The Ohio District of The Lutheran Church
— Missouri Synod, in convention assembled at Spring-
field, Ohio, June 18, 1968, adopted a resolution to me-
morialize the Synod to establish the boundary line of
the Ohio District in the State of Kentucky; and

Wuereas, The Ohio District Board of Directors had
presented a suggested boundary line which was ten-
tatively established by the leaders of the Ohio, Indiana.
and Mid-South Districts, all of which have their geo-
graphical boundary lines meeting in Kentucky: and

WueREAS, This tentative boundary line was adopted
by the Ohio District convention; therefore be it

Resolved, That The Lutheran Church — Missouri
Synod, in convention assembled in Denver, Colorado,
in 1969, establish the Ohio District boundary line in the
State of Kentucky to follow a line starting at the Ohio
River on the north, dividing Gallatin and Boone Coun-
ties, and ending on the south boundary of the state on
the line that divides Bell and Harlan Counties, the fol-
lowing counties of the State of Kentucky to be included
in the Ohio District:

Boone Lewis Johnson
Kenton Bath Lawrence
Campbell Rowan Martin
Grant Carter Floyd
Pendleton Greenup Breathitt

To Set Northern and Eastern Boundaries
of Mid-South District

Wuereas, The uncertainty of boundaries between
the Indiana, Ohio, and Mid-South Districts in the State
of Kentucky has impeded the mission outreach of the
church in Kentucky and resulted in confusion with
respect to areas of responsibility; and

Wuereas, A cleariy defined boundary of the three
Districts will be helpful to synodical boards and plan-
ning groups within the Lutheran Council in the U.S. A.;
therefore be it

Resolved, That the Mid-South District request The
Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod at the Denver con-
vention in 1969 to designate the following counties to
be included in the northern boundary of the Mid-South
District: Union, Webster, McLean, Ohio, Grayson, Hart,
Green, Taylor, Casey, Pulaski, Rock Castle, Jackson,
and Lee; and the following counties to be included as
the eastern boundary: Lee, Owsley, Clay, and Bell.

To Define District Boundaries in Kentucky

Wuereas, Three Districts of The Lutheran Church —
Missouri Synod are engaged in missionary work within
the State of Kentucky; and

WuereEas, These Districts’ boundaries have never
been specifically defined insofar as they affect work in
Kentucky; and

Wuereas, Many counties of Kentucky are without
Lutheran witness and have not been the felt responsi-
bility of any geographic District; and

WuereAs, Discussions have been held between the
mission executives of these Districts; and

Wuereas, There is a common agreement on this mat-
ter between the mission boards of the Ohio, Mid-South,
and Indiana Districts; therefore

The Indiana District approves the proposal of these
three District mission boards and presents the same
jointly with the Ohio and Mid-South Districts to the
convention of the Synod meeting in 1969 at Denver for

adoption. Inpiana District
