That was my same reaction when I saw those numbers. Being a lifetime LCMS member, I've never run into any LCMS minister who did not believe the entire Word of God.
Maybe it was that vague "secular matters" thing in the wording - I'm sure that an LCMS pastor, while holding the Bible to be inerrant, would say that it is not a source from which to learn refrigeration repair.

I'm a recent LCMS convert myself, born and raised Episcopalian. Our parish, and I thought the whole synod, considered the Word of God inerrant.
