The Lutheran Church -
Missouri Synod, with
6,000, North American
congregations having 2.7
million members, met in
convention in St. Louis,
July 6 to 13.
-Among the 1,000 voting
delegates in sessions at
Cervantes Convention
Center in the church's
headquarters city were
Ross. Clark, lay delegate
from Neustadt, and the
Reverend Marvin Barz,
clergy delegate from
Goderich. Each pair of
elected delegates
represents. an average of
ten local LCMS
congregations. The Synod
meets every two years.
The 1979 Missouri
Synod convention, with
the theme "God Opens
Doors..." acted on 185
resolutions, most
directed at church
programs and activities
for the next two years and
beyond. Many observed
that the atmosphere of
this convention was much
calmer than others in
recent years, when the
Synod underwent a
doctrinal controversy
over interpretation of the
Bible.
A missions thrust was
evident throughout the
convention, with more
than 20 resolutions
passed which would
dramatically increase
the Synod's mission
activity and awareness
during the 1980s.
Among other major
actions, the Synod con-
vention took a strong
stand against abortion on
demand, adopted a new
hymn book and extended
for the next two years its
"fellowship in protest"
with The American
Lutheran Church.
The abortion resolution
labels that practice a
"heinous crime against
the will of God", and calls
for a human life amen-
dment to the U.S. Con-
stitution.
The hymn book, which
will be a revised edition
of the Lutheran Book of
Worship (LBW) is
designated as "an official
hymnal" of the Synod. It
will be available from the
church's Concordia
Publishing House in mid -
1980. Adoption of the
revised book came -after a
study pointing to doc-
trinal and other problems
with the LBW, which is
used by three other
Lutheran bodies.
By an overwhelming
majority of 861 to 147, the
delegates approved
continuation of
"fellowship in protest"
with The American
Lutheran Church. Two
earlier attempts failed
which would have
amended the resolution to
specify suspension of
fellowship. The LCMS
and ALC have had
fellowship allowing
pastors to exchange
pulpits and members to
commune in each others
churches since 1969.
Since then, however,
doctrinal disagreements
have surfaced between
the LCMS and ALC
(respectively the second
and third largest
Lutheran bodies on the
continent) leading to
declaration • of
"fellowship in protest" at
the Synod's 1977 con-
vention.
Among other action,
delegates approved a $40
million fund raising
campaign, authorized a
new deaconess training
program, gave "partner
church" status to its
Brazil District, and
called for increased
ministry to Native
Americans, Hispanics,
Blacks and older people.
In elections, 115 per-
sons were chosen to serve
on 27 national church
committees.
Chairing most con-
vention sessions was
LCMS President Dr.
J.A.O Preus, who is mid-
way through his third
four-year term. As the
convention drew to a
close, Preus said he was
"thankful for the
positive, mission -minded
and peaceful nature of
the convention.

Mrs. Irene M, (Rena)
Campbell, a resident of
Goderich from 1931 to
1975, died July 18; at
Queen Elizabeth
Hospital, University
Avenue, Toronto, where
she had been a patient for
four weeks.
Mrs. Campbell was

Hospital for Sick Children
in that city, and served as
a nurse in World War I at
Shorncliffe, England.
She married Donald. E.

until 1931 lived in London,
°
Ontario, where she was
active in the I.O.D.E. and 1 -
the Anglican Church.

George's Anglican 1
Church.

._..�.._.•
..-I
President in 1975.
Since 1975 she has lived
with day care performing
"Seven little girls sitting
in the back seat". Mr.
Adam Wilson who was
our winning contestant,
played his fiddle.
Then we had a rather
queer group of doctors,
and an unsuccessful
operation scene. Mrs.
Donna Broadfoot, ac-
companied. by an
adorable puppy, played
"How much is that doggy
in the window", on her
accordion. Winning the
prize for the most
hilarious act was Mrs.
Josephine Cunningham
as a Hula Girl. Mrs. Ettie
Hugill and Mrs. Betty
Bell sang a duet.
We were treated to a
demonstration of
"Twisting dancing" by
Ronnie and Michael Ladd
and Miss Wendy Kloss
played her ukelele and
sang. A rather non-
professional group of
staff members put on a
two act play -Little Red
Riding Hood" to round off
the program.
Our director of nursing,
Mrs. M. Yeats, Mark
Kennedy and Mrs.
Dianne Elliott were our
_gongers and we would
like to' thank them for
their participation. .
The resident barbecues
commenced this Tuesday
at noon with Ground
Floor North enjoying the
hamburgers and hot
dogs.
The CNIB delivered
new talking machines
this week at Huronview
and these have been
distributed to our blind
residents. Norm Gowing

nesday afternoon.
