Posted on Monday, December 21, 2020 - 5:32 pm:       The 2020 version of the LCMS "State of the Synod" is available online. The Report contains an editorial from the Rev. Dr. [honorary only] Matthew C. Harrison, six interviews of various Synod officers, along with their "Looking Forward" reports and the Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Report. The only problem is that the "State of the Synod" report lacked annual statistical information about the reported number of clergy, congregations, and congregational members in the Missouri Synod, the average weekly worship attendence numbers, the number of baptisms and confirmations, and other numerical information (except for the Synod's finance numbers).
