This series comprises program files for the Lutheran Deaconess House and School (LDHS), the deaconess community for the newly created Lutheran Church in America (LCA). The records date from 1962-1966 and include a variety of record types. The arrangement of this series highlights general subject matter as well as records that pertain to LDHS efforts at promotion and interpretation and education and training. Record types include business correspondence, memoranda, circular letters, a property appraisal, topical papers, statistical reports, curriculum catalogs, orders of service and programs for investitures and consecrations, brochures, postcards, and conference and seminar program files that include evaluations, circular letters, schedules of events, and attendees lists. Correspondence in the series that relates to building and property issues for the deaconess center at 801 Merion Square Road, Gladwyne, Pa. includes installation of a fire alarm system, grounds maintenance, heating and ventilation, and interior and exterior painting. Records identified as deaconess lists comprise address lists for the merged sisterhoods, birthday lists, and general directory lists. The policies regarding deaconesses of the LCA are those adopted by the LCA's Board of College Education and Church Vocation (BCECV) in 1963 and primarily address a deaconess's participation in either the salaried plan or the cooperative plan.
