Call me crazy but the new LCMS president looks just like Teddy Roosevelt. Our own Charles Henrickson most likely can fill us in on the details of this story but who could ever guess that the LCMS leader would be carved on Mt. Rushmore.

Hey, better to look like TR than Jimmy Carter.

The president I look most like is James Garfield.

If you want a real treat, ead Harrison's bood, Christ Have Mercy. It is EXCELLENT--and lays out how the Body of Christ, by Christ's own example, MUST be an agent of mercy in the world. But in being such an agent, it must NEVER become OF the world, as so many churches seem to have in this post-modern day world.
Harrison is a true shepherd--willing to go anywhere to feed His sheep, yet the "food" he offers is the WORD--presented with power and without apologies! His election is a true answer to the prayers of many powerful prayer warriors!

Uh--instead of suggesting that you "ead Harrison's bood", may I change that to "read Harrison's book."
Bad keyboard! Bad, bad!

Praise be to God that he was elected. The LCMS has moved in the wrong direction these past 9 years. Harrison will be able to right its course. A whole slate of conservatives were elected to the different boards too. A real sea change. Thankfully

Not excited, just yet.
The tide came in in 2001. Many, many, many policies and acts of the Jay-Effers were instituted and, for a large part, The SanLuigi crew became the “benevolent big brother” to the congregations.
It will take tact, poise and reason to reset the “constitutional republic” that is the LCMS on the correct path (ortho-synodos [my word]).
The confessional laity needs to help in the catechesis end. Specifically, we need to be able to point out that what is (will be) happening is not politically motivated but a return to the doctrines of the church.

Yes, but it’s a start. There’s another thread where folks are bemoaning the fact we didn’t formally break all association with the ELCA. Good grief. Everyone wants it all, right now.
We have a lot of work to do. And, as you point out, it must be done smartly. But this gives us a beginning, and we must do God’s work. I’ll take our wins when they come.

Just a thought here but is Matthew Harrison related to President Benjamin Harrison? If so, it would be ironic since he looks like President Theodore Roosevelt.

Pretty big beard you have. Do you sleep “in” or “out” at night?

It used to be a lot longer. When I first grew my beard many years ago, I let it go almost a year without trimming. It reached about halfway down to my bellybutton. I could actually feel it on my stomach when I went to sleep. However, I trimmed it to about James Garfield level when I started being confused with ZZ Top. The strange thing is that I suffer recurrent nightmares (about 3 or 4 times per year) about losing my beard. This happened again just a few weeks ago. As always, the moment I woke up I grabbed it for reassurance.
