63. Protest Against Pastor's Call (Ag. 515): Motion made, seconded, and carried that Secretary Mueller
draft a letter to Pastor Graudin generally providing:
a.

An apology for the delay in response and a mention of some synodical problems which have
occupied our time.

b. State we have considered the matter in detail but simply do not have sufficient facts to arrive
at any opinion or conclusion (for example the matter of the "irregularities and violations").
c.

Upon further consideration it may be the matter is entirely within the jurisdiction of the
District Commission on Adjudication which we assume is the "small district board" to which
reference is made.
