Minutes 1884-1907 [microform]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/212835634

This series comprises two bound volumes of handwritten minutes for the Board of Missions and Church Extension of the United Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the South (USS) from 1884-1907. It appears that the board did not meet at regular intervals, but that it would meet approximately two or three times per year. Minutes include a record of persons attending and business conducted at the meeting. Generally, matters discussed involved either issues of broad planning and policy or general administrative matters pertaining to individual mission stations, personnel matters and financial matters. Since this board was responsible for home and foreign mission work until 1908, both subject areas are addressed in these minutes. The minutes end in 1907 when it was decided to split the board into a Board of Foreign Missions and a Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. The minutes are in excellent condition having been bound at a later point.

Establishment of home and foreign mission work in the young Evangelical Lutheran General Synod in North America, commonly referred to as the General Synod South (GSS), proved a difficult undertaking when considering that the whole of the south was barely into the Reconstruction Period.
