Time of the president as a theologian and a pastor was in the 19th century and early 20th century. Then we found the demands for an executive to handle the business of the LCMS inc. It would seem the delegates recognized in the election of Harrison the need for a balance that is weighted towards a pastor and less towards an executive.

Chris,
He appeared before the convention in either. Same as President Kieschnick.
In fact, if you see the video with the Haitian delegation, the Rev. Dr. Kieschnick and the Rev. Mueller are in ties, while the Rev. Harrison is in his collar.
To begin his work among you all by asking the forgiveness of all - so appropriate and so important.
Amen, Cha! The whole convention was kind of an extended "Forgiveness Sunday" and we really, really needed it.
