In Regard to a Woman’s Federation
(Memorial 804)

It is well known that our Lutheran women are giving valuable
organized help in their recognized sphere and under proper gui-
dance to their congregations, to charitable and educational organi-
zations, to Districts, and to Synod at large.

We have women’s societies in almost all our congregations.
Other organizations of women for special efforts are increasing,
we might say, in some sections alarmingly. Some of our Districts
have found it very advisable to favor a District organization among
their women.

Is it not therefore quite natural that our Lutheran women
would also desire to effect a closer relation and a helpful coopera-
tion among the various organizations, somewhat as it is found
among our young people in the Walther League?

We therefore respectfully petition Synod in behalf of the Lu-
theran Woman’s League, which has received the recognition of
the Western District and of that section of the English District, to
permit some kind of federation among the various District women’s
organizations which would be in keeping with sound Lutheran
principles, with the understanding that the District organizations
would remain under control of the respective District, while a gen-
eral organization would come under the control of Synod.

We also petition that Synod will lend its help, possibly through

its Praesidium or an appointed committee, to study the various

problems connected with this proposition and to solve them with
those that are interested under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to
the best interests of the Church.
