of the Lutheran church to participate
in politics or to take action looking
toward the influencing of govern

It was also resolved that "the counsel
laments the trials. dangers, tribulations
and manifold sorrows. which the ravages
of the terrible war in Europe have caused.
and expresses the hope that God may
hasten the day when the blessing Of
universal peace shall again descend upon
suffering humanity"
