In the confusion of a rapidly changing world, the Word of God remains “the pure, clear fountain of Israel” (SD Rule and Norm 1). If elected to serve, I will use my experience in science and technology to assist the CTCR in drafting clear and timely theological treatises. I will also work to ensure that we enter into altar and pulpit fellowship with church bodies that share our commitments to the primacy of the Scriptures and a subscription to the Book of Concord in all its doctrines.
