To Make the Office of Counselor
Nominative

Wuereas, The Igreja Evangelica Luterana do Brasil
is a small church, but its administration requires a
goodly number of persons; and

Wuereas, No one may occupy two elective functions
in the church; and

Wuereas, Because of the above restriction it is often
difficult to find qualified candidates for the office of
Counselor; and

Wuereas, The Counselor is the President’s helper;
therefore be it

Resolved, That the Igreja Evangelica Luterana do
Brasil in its convention in January 1965 express the
wish to transform the office of Counselor from an elec-
tive to a nominative office; and be it further

Resolved, That the President of the church, together
with its Executive Board, shall nominate the Counselor
from the list of candidates presented by the circuit of
visitation; and be it finally

Resolved, That the church request the convention
in Detroit to approve this resolution.

Wuereas, The local congregation has the right to
judge the expediency of any given resolution of the
Synod as it applies to the local condition (Bylaws
1.09b); and

Wuereas, The proposal to change the name of the
Synod from The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mis-
souri, Ohio, and Other States to The Lutheran Church
— Missouri Synod in 1947 was voted on by every con-
stituent congregation; and

Wuereas, The decision to hold delegate conven-
tions biennially instead of triennially was also made
with each congregation having a direct voice in the
question; and

Wuereas, All the congregations of a given circuit
have the same delegates representing them at the gen-
eral convention, and consequently the representation
cannot always be accurate for each congregation; and

Wuereas, An issue that involves conscience is of
