The argument that some

clared.

problem" he said, "is to in

SAN FRANCISCO, June "a
AP).-The Lutheran Church.
Missouri Synod has ordered all
its pastors. teachers and pr0-
feSSors to teach and act in har-
mony with q statement Of
doctrine drafted by the church
in 1882.
A Brooklyn IN. " pastor
protested against the resolu-
ton decreeing doctrinal con-
formity, but it was adopted by
voice vote yesterday at the
synod convention.
Martin Luther, founder of
the church, changed his mind
more than once because he
realized he could be wrong"
said the Rev. Robert J Riedel.
I'VE might be wrong"
He argued there was no need
for doctrinal statements to
protect brothers from each
other"
The resolution declared the
8,000-word statement is the
church's public doctrine. It in
structed that those who believe
that such statements are not
satisfactory in part or in their
entirety are not to teach con-
trary to them.
Risk Of Dismissal
Preachers, teachers and pro-
fesSors are free to make known
any differences before church
bodies. But any attempt to
teach or preach these differ
ences would risk dismissal.
The 1882 doctrine rejects the
evolutionary theory Of mans
origin. 1t also holds against a
theocratic state, secular church
and "millenialism" theories pre-
dieting spectacular changes in
the world before "the general
resurrection on judgment day"
Advocated are doctrines OF
the Trinity, original sin and
mans total evilneSs.
Faith in Christ is the only
way for men to obtain personal
reconciliation with God" the
statement maintains.
Other Declarations
1t also says:
The grace and power Of God
alone work conversion, not
mans cooperation.
There is predeStination to
salvation but not to damna-
ton, and this apparent con-
rraoiction will disappear in the
light Of Heaven.
