CHURCH MERGER
GOING THROUGH
Union of Lutheran Branches
Appears Probable; Action
This Year
Lutherans of America have been
breaking records in the work of
bringing together various sections of
the church into one body. For a
number of years they have been
growing together in co-operation
with the result that in the planning
for the four hundredth anniversary
of the beginning of the Protestant
Reformation, which is being widely
celebrated this year, a Joint commit
tee was organized about two and a
half years ago. This committee has
launched many enterprises in which
there have been hearty co-operation
and perfect unanimity.
The goal ot the United Lutheran
Church seemed so desirable as a re
sult of this co-operation that on
April 18 the committee made a re
quest of the presidents of the three
general bodies, the General Synod,
the General Council and the United
Synod in the South, to take steps to
ward complete union of these three
bodies and to plan in such a way 'us
to give opportunity to other por
tions of the church also to co-oper
ate in such an effort to form a United
Lutheran Church.
The presidents acted immediately.
The committee on constitution held
several meetings and perfected a
constitution which has already been
approved by the General Synod,
which met a few weeks ago in Chi
cago. The same will be presented to
the General Council in Philadelphia
in October and to the United Synod
in the South at a special convention
in November at Salisbury, N. C.
What the sentiment for unification
in the General Council is may be seen
apointed two years ago to frame a
new constitution for the Council.
This committee met in Atlantic City
the first week in July, but instead of
framing a new constitution for their
own body, to be submitted in Oc
tober, they voted unanimously to
"recommend the proposed plan for
the United Lutheran Church In Am
erica and the proposed constitution."
After this constitution has then been
approved by the District Synods
throughout the United States and
Canada, a general convention will be
held and the United Lutheran
Church of America formed. Thus
far, in the matters of faith, there has
been absolutely no differences of
opinion, and in the method 3 and
practical application in tho -vork of
the church the slight dUTerny.ofcß are
being adjusted and perfect Harmony
and unity of action seems certain.
Possibly never in the history of large
movements In churches has there
been anything which has worked so
smoothly and developed so rapidly
as this movement to unite the sec
tions of the church which have been
separated for 50 years.
Relative Size of Tlircc Bodies
The magnitude of this movement
Is evidenced by a few facts and fig
ures. The largest of the three
bodies is the General Council, wjiich
was organized just 50 years ago, and
which will celebrate its golden jubi
lee in Philadelphia in October. Tho
General Council, has 14 District
Syriods, 1753 ministers, 2606 congre
gations and 800,891 baptized mem
bers. They have church property
valued at $32,916,119 and raised dur
ing the past year for all purposes
about $5,100,000.
The General Synod has 24 district
synods, 1425 ministers, 1847 congre
gations, 469,721 baptized members.
They have church property worth
$26,250,252 and raised in round
numbers about $3,000,000 during the
past year.
The United Synod in the South,
which is the smallest of the three
bodies, has eight district synods, 261
ministers, 194 congregations, 72,462
baptized members, church property
worth $2,572,634, and raised in round
numbers about $350,000 for all pur
poses during the- past year. This
makes a total who are going into
this union of 46 district synods, 3 439
ministers, 4947 congregations, 1,343,-
075 baptized members, with church
property making a total of $61,739,-
005. They raised in round numbers
during the past year a total of about
$8,450,000.
The extent of the work that this
new United Church will have on its
hands is indicated by the following
figures: The General Synod is sup
porting at the present time 274 mis
sions in this country, distributed
throughout 28 different States and
the Dominion of Canada. The
United Synod in the South has 84
missions distributed in the various
portions of the South. The Gen
eral Council is at the present time
supporting no less than 855 missions,
covering the entire United States and
Canada, with the exception of the
district covered by the United Synod
in the South, including Alaska. This
makes a total of 1213 missions. This
is a larger number of missions than
the total number of congregations in
existence in the Lutheran Church
when the separation took place 50
years ago.
