Minutes 1929-1950

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/225863748

This series comprises minutes of the Commission on Negro Missions of the American Lutheran Church (1930-1960). Records are from 1929-1950 and comprise one bound volume, five folders with loose-leaf typewritten minutes, and one folder containing a partial index of the minutes. The bound volume is a combination of minutes handwritten directly onto the notebook's pages and typewritten or handwritten minutes on separate paper affixed to blank pages of the bound notebook. The board at first met bimonthly and then quarterly, as did its successor commission. Meetings generally followed the same course of business that included reports from the mission superintendent, reports on congregations, schools, and general evangelism work; consideration of fiscal matters including approval of payment of invoices and budget planning; and actions on personnel matters including calls issued, pay raises, and discipline actions. The minutes end with 1950 reflecting the fact that at the end of that year the work was transferred to the National Lutheran Council which assumed responsibility for the work beginning in January 1951. Regarding the index found in this series, not all subject matter for each meeting was indexed. The index is very incomplete.
