1. I think the LCMS is a lot more united than much of the voting % suggest.
The weighing of issues and voting on them tends to make for two convenient "camps." The reality is vastly more complex than that, and the way to reveal that broader unity is not through oppositional voting but through real theological dialogue. Structure and governance DO make a difference, but my sense is that Pres.-elect Harrison was elected because--at the end of the day--he offered a deeply theological leadership and has an established record of facilitating the effectual and merciful use of God's gifts in the church.
