ADDENDUM TO THE REPORT OF
THE BOARD FOR LUTHERAN TELEVISION
NEW ORLEANS CONVENTION, THE LUTHERAN CHURCH - MISSOURI SYNOD

JULY, 1973

As you know from your study of the New Orleans Workbook, the Board
for Lutheran Television, in recognition of Synod's call in two previous
conventions for new plans, programs, and budgets to expand the use of the
media of mass communications at home and abroad, held an evaluation confer-
ence to which were invited top outside broadcast professionals to offer
objective counsel.

With the evaluation conference held in March of this year, there was
not enough time to distill or refine the input adequately before the dead-
line for printed overtures and reports to New Orleans.

Thus, this addendum.

As a preamble to the proposal and suggested resolution following, the
Board for Lutheran Television feels it will be helpful for the understanding
and background of the committee to offer a brief summary of the activities
and the research leading to the recommendations and programs included in the

overture.

BACKGROUND
The Television Board was encouraged toward these recommendations by
the resolutions initially activated by Synod at the Denver Convention of
1969, and emphasized again by the Milwaukee resolutions of 1971.
"...Resolved to re-evaluate priorities for the
expanded use of the media of mass communications
in the proclamation of the Gospel." (Denver 1-12)
"Resolved that the Synod allocate necessary

funds to carry out its previous action at Denver
‘to expand the use of media of mass communications

at home and abroad.'" (Milwaukee 10-19)
