To Define More Closely Position
of Lay Worker

Wuereas, Graduates of the Lutheran Lay Training
Institute in Milwaukee have been, for some years now,
sent to serve in various capacities in the congregations
of our Synod; and

Wuereas, Neither the training requirements, con-
tract provisions, induction or reception specifications,
duties, nor limitations of these workers is referred to
in either the Constitution or the Bylaws of our Synod;
and

WHEREAS, These workers in some instances, where
District Presidents have determined exceptional cir-
cumstances to exist, have been given permission to act
as public administrators of Word and sacraments in
capacities which normally have been reserved for or-
dained ministers; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Praesidium of the Synod be di-
rected to appoint a commission to research the matter
of the Lutheran Lay Training Institute graduates as to
their appropriate and proper areas of service and limi-
tations; and be it further

Resolved, That this commission at the next conven-
tion of the Synod make recommendations for additions
to the Bylaws of the Synod concerning this matter; and
be it finally

Resolved, That the respective District Presidents be
allowed to continue to determine the exceptional cir-
cumstances wherein these lay workers may serve in
unusual capacities until such time as the Bylaws can
be amended in this matter.
