MINUTES OF THE CONVENTION

Whereas, It is with precedent and right and in good order to
grant to former presidents of the Synod the title of and to declare
them to be “President Emeritus”; therefore be it
Resolved, That The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in
this convention recognize the Reverend Dr . Gerald B . Kieschnick
for his years of faithful service to our Lord through this Synod,
recognizing primarily his service as the President of the Synod;
and be it further
Resolved, That President Kieschnick be granted the title of
“President Emeritus,” effective immediately following the installation of the new President-elect of the Synod .
The delegate invited all those willing to support the resolution to rise and join him in a round of applause and in
singing the doxology . In response to the delegate’s resolution,
the entire convention offered a standing ovation and sang the
Common Doxology . The parliamentarian assured that this was
a properly adopted resolution by the assembly .
Prior to the elections to follow, the Secretary of the Synod
noted two things of concern with the actions taken by the
convention the day before . A resolution was adopted by the
convention (4-07) that contradicted a resolution adopted earlier (8-16A) by the convention, and a floor committee opted
to withdraw one of its resolutions (5-08) because a bylaw in
the resolution had already been addressed by another resolution (8-08A), assuming that its proposed changes had already
been addressed . He noted that it would be impossible to sort
this out in the time remaining to the convention, and proposed
that those resolutions whose primary and specific interest is
the bylaw changes in question will trump those resolutions
whose rationale does not specifically support those bylaw
changes . This principle will be honored by the Commission
on Handbook and the Commission on Constitutional Matters
in their work following the convention . He also encouraged
floor committees to take care to avoid as many of these situations as possible .
