So matt harrison got reelected as president of the LCMS. No surprises there.

Expect a lot of the usual people to spike the football and rub it in your face. If you haven't been learning to smile through it, now is a good time to start.

The fun thing is, I have to wonder whether his reelection is because so many layman are ignorant of the controversies, or whether it's because so many people have left the lcms that would have voted otherwise. I suppose it doesn't matter, since the status quo facade has been maintained.

My advice is to not get upset. Even if that mustachioed dork cheated his way to a fifth term, who cares? Nothing changes really. You should still leave if your church hates you. You should be ready to join the Catacomb Synod if the missouri people discover that you are one of those actual Lutherans that they hate so much.

Let me put it another way.

Congratulations to matt harrison for remaining the captain of a sinking ship. He'll go down with it too.
