To Call for Publication  
of Council of Presidents Manual 
WHEREAS, The Council of Presidents (COP) of The Lutheran 
Church—Missouri Synod is expected to have policies that guide 
both the corporate work of the council  and the individual work of 
its members (Bylaw 3.10.1.2); and 
WHEREAS, Those policies have been codified in a manual 
distributed to the C OP’s members, but not available for public 
viewing; and 
WHEREAS, That private manual is often cited to defend the 
actions and positions taken by district presidents; therefore be it 
Resolved, That the COP be required to make public its manual; 
and be it further 
Resolved, That the COP manual be available on the Synod 
website in the “Document Library”; and be it finally 
Resolved, That the manual available online be the most recent 
iteration, as updated periodically by the council.
