The preliminary signing of the synodical constitution, the election of
officers pro tempore, the examination of credentials, the admission of
members, the receiving of written submissions and petitions, and the
reading of several letters took up the greater part of today's synodical
session.

Concerning pastors C. J. H. Fick and J. G. Streckfuß, the synod decided
that both must submit to a colloquy under Chapter V, Section 24 before
their admission. C. Fricke was admitted as a candidate of the holy
preaching office and as an advisory member of the synod.

Pastor Geyer and delegate Hökendorf appeared before the synod and
declared that they wished to enter into association with us if an
amendment to the constitution were made. This request was referred to a
committee for examination and report.

A letter from Pastor W. Hattstädt, in which he asks the synod for advice
regarding difficult circumstances in his congregations, was referred to
another committee for report.

On the petition of candidate C. Fricke, the synod resolved to send him
out as a visitor, and appointed for this purpose a committee to draft
instructions for the visitor, which will be communicated in their place.

In the evening the colloquy was held with pastors C. J. H. Fick and J. G.
Streckfuß.
