Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a member owned organization. If you are indeed a member of Thrivent, do voice your concerns directly to the leadership and they will listen. But I do have to wonder why my beloved church body gives such an official voice to this Schuermann who is neither a Synodical official (that I know of) nor an actual member of Thrivent Financial. I believe the goal of righting any wrongs would best be served through frank discussions between LCMS officials and Thrivent leadership rather than through social networking tirades. Some seem too intent on throwing the baby out with the bath water (no pun intended) and destroying an organization that still today gives millions of dollars every year in financial support of LCMS churches, schools, our seminaries and other Lutheran supported organizations.
