Hot Takes for Delegates
Start here when you want to know which proposed resolutions deserve closer attention before convention discussion or voting.
The Resolution Watch Report highlights proposed resolutions that may deserve extra attention because of their possible impact on local ministry, pastoral formation, worship practice, RSO and chaplaincy partnerships, ecclesiastical supervision, Concordia Lutheran identity, and convention procedure. Use it as a study aid alongside Today's Business, the Resolutions reader, the Workbook, and prayer.
Pastoral formation and SMP
Worker formation, mission access, SMP, EIIT, CHS, CMC, rural ministry, and church planting.
Worship practice and public Scripture reading
Worship guidance, women lectors, Christian freedom, and congregational practice.
RSO, chaplaincy, and mercy partnerships
Mission partners, mercy work, chaplaincy language, and institutional care.
Supervision, dispute, and digital conduct
