I really applaud this effort and I have just responded to the on-line survey. Could you please publish e-mails and phone number for the project team members so we can more easily engage? Better yet would be too difficult to stand-up a discussion group here at this site for broadened collaboration.

Have we asked our African and other third world synod members how they see this document being drafted? Our Seminary Presidents and all our seminary students should be required to review all drafts.

Are we drafting this document with multiple formats in mind: print, web and mobile applications supported with robust use of social media?

If we just print a new book it will seldom leave that 13 year olds book shelf! Put it on the web and in Apple, Android and Windows mobile phone apps and promote across social media and now its with our teenagers wherever they go - ever see a teenager without their phone these days?

Have we explored getting the current small and large catechisms as well as the Concordia - The Lutheran Confessions on-line in robust usable and searchable web and mobile formats at this site as we work to develop a this new of the small catechism.

NOTE: Any discussion about Concordia Publishing House sales erosion on their printed counterparts is a non starter!
