I like this quote from an Episcopalian. The LCMS should consider it. Instead of the seminaries and missions getting what's ever left over after the administration takes out its portion and pays its salaries as it sees fit, the situation should be reversed, and missions and the seminaries ought to be fully funded, and the the administration and LCMS HQ gets whatever is left:
"After a lengthy slide presentation outlining the various Episcopal Church Center departments and offices (all of which have multiple reporting structures), he noted that, as it stands in the current budget process, governance is funded first. He then asked, "What would happen if we reversed that priority, starting with mission?" Based on that, what if, in creating a hypothetical annual budget of $27 million, $19 million of that budget went toward mission and the remaining $8 million toward overhead? (The current budget is closer to $35 million, he noted.)"
