How can the Synod better support the entities and agencies of Synod in their work at home and abroad? In this special 2026 Convention episode of The Lutheran Witness podcast, the Rev. Dr. Mike Gibson, district president of the LCMS Pacific Southwest District; Andrew Grams, vice chairman of the LCMS Board of Directors; and the Rev. Dr. John Sias, LCMS Secretary join the Rev. Roy S. Askins to discuss Resolution 9-11, which proposes bylaw changes that would address changes to corporate law and business needs affecting Synod-wide entities. The podcast addresses the critiques of the resolution and offers a way for Synod to order its life together in a God-pleasing and legal way.
Listeners can reach out directly to Secretary Sias at lcmssecretary@lcms.org.
