This item is for those interested in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Everyone else may look away. The nominations for president and other offices, which will be voted upon at the upcoming convention July 20-25, have been released. It looks like the current president and other conservative, confessional types have an overwhelming advantage. I give the list after the jump.
Thanks to Rev. Charles Henrickson for this list:
