ST. LOUIS, July 22, 2013—Two actions today at the 65th Regular Convention of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod centered on expanding relationships with certain Lutheran church bodies.
Despite the difficult circumstances in which the Liberian church leader found himself years ago, he said “Evil will never triumph over good. I am a witness to the goodness of God.”
LCMS President Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison turns the spotlight on the woman he calls a joy and blessing, his wife Kathy Harrison, and the couple’s two sons.
On the opening day of business at the 65th Regular Convention of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, delegates heard a report from recently re-elected LCMS President Matthew C. Harrison, elected the Synod’s six vice presidents and voted on resolutions having to do with Life Together, Administration and Finance.
The convention approves two resolutions that authorize tweaking several Synod Bylaws dealing with election of the president and duties of the LCMS Board of Directors.
Elected are the Rev. Dr. John C. Wohlrabe Jr., the Rev. Daniel Preus, the Rev. Dr. Scott R. Murray, the Rev. Nabil S. Nour, and the Rev. Dr. Robert T. Kuhn.
At the beginning of his address during today’s business session of the 65th Regular Convention of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), LCMS New England District President Rev. Timothy Yeadon unexpectedly took a moment to speak to LCMS President Harrison after what Yeadon described as a “tough year” in New England with Hurricane Sandy, the shooting in Newtown, Conn., and the bombing at the Boston Marathon.
