Well, I just finished my last board meeting at Concordia Publishing House<\/a>.\u00a0 When I was first elected by the LCMS convention back in 1998, I did not realize that the term of office was the same as the U.S. Senate, 6 years!\u00a0 Then I got re-elected.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been going to quarterly meetings for 12 years.\u00a0 That\u2019s 48 meetings!<\/p>\n

And they have been eventful.\u00a0 Lots of changes, controversies, and challenges were taken up by the board during the last 12 years.\u00a0 Now, I leave with a good feeling.\u00a0 The quality of the books and other resources being published at CPH has shot up during my term, and now the house is turning out books like the Lutheran Study Bible, the Treasury of Daily Prayer, The Lutheran Service Book, the Concordia, and scores of other superb products.\u00a0 That quality includes Biblical and confessional fidelity and depth.\u00a0 Not only that, the company has never been stronger financially, defying the times and the trends.<\/p>\n

So, farewell, CPH!\u00a0 I\u2019ll miss my quarterly box of free books, but you are in good hands.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
