Recommendation Concerning the Lutheran Council in Canada

Wuereas, Our brethren in the Lutheran Church —
Canada have sent to the Commission on Theology and
Church Relations a proposed constitution of a Lutheran
Council in Canada, an organization in Canada closely
paralleling in purpose and functions the proposed Lu-
theran Council in the U.S. A.; and

Wuereas, A committee of the commission has care-
fully examined the proposed Constitution of the Lu-
theran Council in Canada and finds that it does not
differ essentially from the proposed constitution of

LCUSA and is in accord with the pertinent Scriptural
and confessional principles; therefore the commission

Recommends, That the convention approve also the
proposed constitution of the Lutheran Council in Canada
and inform the President of the Lutheran Church —
Canada that, so far as The Lutheran Church — Missouri
Synod is concerned, the Lutheran Church — Canada is
free to join the proposed Lutheran Council in Canada.
