I. Anfrage betreffs Gründung einer engliſchen Synode.

Die Gemeinde des Herrn Paſtor F. Kügele aus der Concordia⸗Synode,
eine engliſch lutheriſche Gemeinde im Staate Virginia, hatte folgendes
Schreiben an die Synodalconferez gerichtet:

APPEAL

TO THE VENERABLE EVANG. LUTH. SYNODICAL CONFERENCE OF NORTH
AMERICA IN SESSION ASSEMBLED, CLEVELAND, OHIO.

Honored and dear Brethren!

We, the Evang.-Luth. Koiner's Congregation, would submit the
following to your consideration: In consequence of the late rupture in
the Synodical Conference we are at present without synodical con-
nexion. This is not because we were not in agreement with the doctrine
confessed by your venerable body, nor because of a desire to stand in-
dependent, but because there is no synod in the bounds of the Synod-
ical Conference making use of our language, and we do not see what
advantage it would be for us to belong to a synod whose language we
do not understand. We, therefore, submit to your consideration, if
not the time has come for the organization of an English synod, or
district-synod, whichever might appear most advisable, within the
limits of your body.

Wishing the blessings of God on your deliberations

Respectfully

YOUR BRETHREN IN THE LORD.

THEODORE COYNER, Sec.
In the name of congregation.

That the above was adopted in a regularly called congregational
meeting attests

F. KUEGELE, Chairman.
