On Aug. 2, 88% of the delegates at the 68th Regular Convention of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) voted to adopt Resolution 7-04B, “To Revise Bylaws to Revisit and Renew Relationship of Colleges and Universities with the Synod.” This extensive resolution, spanning some 25 pages in the Aug. 1 edition of Today’s Business, is the product of four years of work demanded by 2019 Res. 7-03, passed at the 67th Regular Convention in Tampa.
Floor Committee (FC) 7 Chairman Rev. Dr. Scott R. Murray introduced the discussion of Res. 7-04B by asking the five Concordia University System (CUS) presidents to stand. “We are delighted to have those faithful leaders here with us today. All through the process of Floor Committee 7, they have adamantly described their desire to be more faithful and more tightly tied to the church, her confession, her teaching.”
