Letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Hugo Odhner, 1928-04-13
Scope and Contents
Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Hugo Odhner in Toronto, ON, Canada. Pendleton has received Odhner’s letter of April 11th. Pendleton is sorry that his letter to the Toronto Society Secretary caused confusion. He clarifies that the Bishop must be informed if the Toronto Society would like to issue a call for Pastor outside of the regular nominees. If the Society is unable to issue a call for any reason, the Bishop automatically becomes Pastor. The Bishop will then appoint an interim pastor, who may be a first degree minister or even an unordained candidate. The Society however, may not call anyone who is not yet ordained, and therefore the voting for theological student Norman Reuter was not in order. Pendleton further explains that the General church is under no obligation to help ministers relocate, and so if the Toronto Society wishes to call Elmo (Acton), they will have to finance his move from Durban themselves. Pendleton expresses his preference for either Mr. (Fred) Gyllenhaal or Mr. (Gilbert) Smith as Pastor of the Toronto Society. Names mentioned: Mr. Karl Alden, Norman Reuter, Elmo (Carman Acton), Mr. (Fred) Gyllenhaal, Mr. (Gilbert) Smith
