William Mart Thompson, II, University City, MO; Holy Cross, St. Louis MO (MO); LCMS 34; Assoc. Atty. O: Law 6.

I am humbled to be nominated to serve our beloved Synod’s publishing house. I have been formed by the saints at Lutheran parishes and schools in Missouri, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and South Korea. I am an attorney with experience in corporate governance, restructuring, and litigation.

More importantly, I am a husband and father. We love printed books. Currently, a CPH commentary sits on my desk, and The Story Bible and Kloria hymn books adorn our living room. I am excited for the opportunity to help produce beautiful and encouraging works in an age filled with cheap virtual distraction.

Pause and Pray at 3:07 p.m.

At 3:07 each day, remember John 15:7 and pray for Christ's Church, the convention, our leaders, and the work of the Gospel among us.
