Doctrinal Proceedings.

According to the report of the 13th convention of the Ev. Luth. Synodical Conference in the year 1890, the faculties within the Synodical Conference were to "work out an instrument that can be laid before the Synodical Conference" on the third thesis, which was then under discussion. They had indeed agreed on one sentence, but thought that, given the practical importance of the question, it would be well to give them time to discuss it more fully.

Resolved: That the faculties continue to deliberate on the matter and present it next time in such a way that it can be thoroughly discussed. The result of their deliberations shall then be made publicly known beforehand within the circle of the Synodical Conference.
