Koehler's Index: 485. 1860, December 26, sent from Theresa by the church council (C. Belling, Fr. Lehmann) to Bading. Der neue Pastor Schmidt stimmt nicht mit der Wisconsinsynode. Nur mit Röll und allenfalls mit Bading. Nicht mit Missouri dagegen mit Iowa und Buffalo. Wollen die Synode bei sich haben, aber Schmidt will nicht weil er kein Abendmahl halten und keine Kanzelgemeinschaft haben kann. Deshalb Abendmahl vorher in der Gemeinde. Es gingen aber die meisten nicht, weil es aus Niedertracht angestellt war.

(New Pastor Schmidt disagrees with Wisconsin Synod. Only with Röll and possibly with Bading. Not with Missouri but with Iowa and Buffalo. They want the synod with them, but Schmidt doesn't want to because he can't celebrate communion and can't share the pulpit. Therefore communion beforehand in the congregation. But most of them didn't go because it was employed out of infamy.)
