Council of the India Mission, Minutes 1913-1962 [microform].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/701804234

The records consist of minutes of the Council of the India Mission and of the Executive Committee, with a small amount of correspondence relating to the minutes. The earlier minutes are frequently titled abstracts, but later minutes are very full and frequently are printed copies. Early minutes also record meetings of the Rajahmundry Mission Council from 1913-1922, the Rajahmundry Ministerium from 1913-1918, and the Guntur Conference of 1921. Although there was nothing in the records to note officially the makeup of these bodies, the Rajahmundry Council and the Guntur Conference seem to have been composed of all missionaries in their respective areas, and the Rajahmundry Ministerium of a smaller group of male missionaries. Each group had its own president. There is also a copy of the minutes of an All India Lutheran Conference held in 1921, sponsored by 11 Lutheran missions in India, and a file of constitutions, by-laws, and rules of association. The bulk of the records was collected by George Drach, General Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions (BFM) , first of the General Council from 1905-1918 and then of the ULCA from 1918-1943. Later minutes were collected by Drach's successors, with the bulk from Luther A. Gotwald (1947-1952), Earl S. Erb (1952-1954), and J. Frederick Neudoerffer (1954-1962). The records are arranged chronologically.
