Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Homer Synnestvedt in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Pendleton has received Synnestvedt’s last letter regarding his possible relocation to Toronto as the society’s new Pastor. Pendleton writes, “If your mind is interiorly made up to stay in Pittsburgh I do not see that there is any call for you to place yourself in a position to be persuaded to do what you think you ought not to do. In the matter of persuasion or rather non-persuasion I am an old fashioned...

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Homer Synnestvedt in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Pendleton has not kept up on his correspondence as he has been “in the hands of the grippe.” He hopes the meetings in Pittsburgh went well and that the changes they made to the Church organizational system are not too radical. He explains he is not opposed to governance changes so long as they “recognize and admit of the carrying out of our essential doctrine of Church government.” Pendleton is also...

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Homer Synnestvedt in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Pendleton was pleased to see from Synnestvedt’s letter of March 25th that the Pittsburgh society meeting to go over the report of the Organization Committee yielded favorable results. He was, however, distressed to hear about the Boggess family. He writes, “What can we do? In such an affair one must, I think, exercise charity by regarding all possible extenuating circumstances. But this at best is but a...

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Homer Synnestvedt in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Pendleton has just received Synnestvedt’s last letter. He advises Synnestvedt to call a meeting of his pastoral council, followed by a society meeting, and present them with his resignation.

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Homer Synnestvedt in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Pendleton thanks Synnestvedt for his account of the meeting that was held in Pittsburgh to discuss who their next pastor will be. Although Pendleton would have preferred to have the question of the Pittsburgh pastorate settled before the upcoming Assembly, he thinks the two week delay they decided on was advisable. In Bryn Athyn, George (DeCharms) was ordained into the third degree of the priesthood.

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Hugo Odhner in Berlin (Kitchener), ON, Canada.
Pendleton has received Odhner’s letter of May 8th. Pendleton addresses Odhner’s concerns about ordination into the pastoral degree of the priesthood. As Pendleton considers it orderly to be ordained into the pastoral degree without necessarily becoming the pastor of a society, he argues that there is no reason why Odhner should not be ordained into the second degree and continue to assist Mr. Waelchli as...
