## Resource

Rev. Jason Braaten sits down with attorney and longtime LCMS delegate Mark Stern to walk through the first edition of Today's Business ahead of the upcoming Synod Convention. Stern explains how overtures become resolutions, how floor committees work, and what delegates and laypeople can do right now to weigh in. He highlights key resolutions on worship (including the proposed Commission on Worship), public reading of Scripture, the Specific Ministry Pastor program, partner church concerns (SELC and AALC), assisted suicide, and more. A practical, informed guide for anyone wanting to understand what's at stake in Phoenix. Links: Today's Business Convention Workbook ----more---- Host: Fr.
