STATE NEWS OF MINNESOTA
interesting and important Happenings
OF the Past Few Days Selected and
Arranged for the Convenience
of Busy Readers.

Minneapolis.-Fi steps in the
preparation for a union between the
three largest and oldest Norwegian
church denominations were taken
when a joint committee representing
the synods met at the Hotel Andrews
to draw up a constitution for the ANAL
gamation. A doctrinal agreement has
been adopted by the three churches
and articles of agreement relating to
church property by two, so members
of the committee were confident that
the union, which has been sought for
years will soon be an actually.
The churches represented are the
Norwegian Synod of America, the
Hauges Norwegian Lutheran synod
and the United Norwegian Lutheran.
The committee represents more than
1000 ministers and 5000 churches 10.
Gated in various parts of the country
Union Of the three churches was dis,
cussed for several years before any
actual steps were taken, but in 1912
representatives of the churches met in
Madison, Wis, and after a long con
sideration OF the doctrinal beliefs oil
the churches drew up the "Opgjoer,
a doctrinal agreement which was pre-
sented TO the churches involved and
adopted by them.
The next step to be taken was te
arrive at articles of agreement, re
lating to questions of church property
and other business details. A meet
ing for this took place in Minneapolis
last year and the articles drawn ur
have been adopted by the United
church and the Norwegian synod.
