RESOLUTION 10-05
Report R1 (CW, p. 10); President’s Report, Part 2 (TB, pp. 21–31)
WHEREAS, Under God’s blessing, the national and international work of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) generates a wealth of inspiring stories and other resources for proclaiming the Gospel, teaching the faith, serving our neighbor in need, nurturing the family, standing up for biblical values, defending our religious liberties, and a host of other positive examples of mission and ministry activity and Christian witness; and
WHEREAS, Considerable time, talent and treasure go into preparing and publishing The Lutheran Witness, Reporter and Lutherans Engage the World and the online counterparts of these periodicals; producing content for an array of other communication vehicles like the Synod’s Website, social media channels, LCMS ministry blogs, KFUO Radio, e-news and e-blasts; and creating the videos, photography, graphic design and downloadable resources instrumental in telling the stories and sharing the news of the church; therefore be it
Resolved, That we rejoice in our Synod’s information resources and encourage pastors and church leadership to urge the people to make use of LCMS communications so that through the greater sharing of information we come to a fuller knowledge of the work of our national church walking together for the furtherance of the Lord’s Kingdom.
