@WmWeedon I'm guessing the answer is no because you wouldn't want to deal with the mess of it, but any chance you'd serve on a revived COW?

On Convention: I remember Dr. Nagel once opined that it seems Synod in convention usually rights something unfortunate done in the past at most every convention…while proceeding to do some new unfortunate thing. I wonder what will be fixed (I hope COW) and what new screw up?

@PastorSharp That was rough to listen to. Poor guy's vocal chords.

Do any #LCMS people know when election results will be released?

@timrwild Voting ends tonight, so should be announced midday tomorrow.

@shebringsjoy Agreed, although it was cool when we'd find something in the clothing co-op at the Seminary new with tags on.
English
Someone posted an estate sale in my local mom’s group, & there are tons of clothes w/tags still on them.
TBH: I can’t imagine the amount of wealth a person would need, to own closets full of unworn, new clothes.
Just boggles my mind.
Is this normal, or am I missing something?

Next you're going to tell me that Outback Steakhouse isn't even Australian and that blooming onions are not even a food in Australia.

I was today-years old when I learn TEXAS Roadhouse originated in... Clarksville, INDIANA

@prairie_posie My wife and I went to Ireland for our first anniversary. Dublin was by far our least favorite part. We loved driving all over the countryside finding small towns and B&Bs.
Cities are so overrated.

@vedabenerabilis Hmm, I guess I was lumping them together because of the back side looking fairly identical. I see now that the actual fiddleback has the cutouts in the front (where the name comes).
English
@EricSouer I would suggest that you look up photos of fiddlebacks. These are clearly quite different.

If you’re a Lutheran planning to purchase vestments at any point in the future, take a look at this.
Stefan@vedabenerabilis
It is worth noting, as others have, that Lutheran liturgical culture was substantially degraded (and in outright free fall in some places) by 1764, so it isn't a great reference point for traditional Lutheran vesture. That being said, many millennial and Gen Z clergy habitually wear cassock and surplice (like that on the left) apart from the celebration of the Eucharist. You might also be interested to learn that my parish is currently working with @Sacra_Indumenta to commission a green set of Eucharistic vestments based on Lutheran and pre-Reformation examples. Hopefully just the beginning. Why pre-Reformation and not just Lutheran, you ask? Many of the Lutheran vestments were used until they could no longer be used, and then were not replaced by subsequent generations under the influences of Pietism and Rationalism. But depictions of them still exist in period artwork, which can be used to identify similar extant examples from various sources for further reference. You can see some of the research here: docs.google.com/document/d/1Ka…

@vedabenerabilis Aren't the pictures in the document you shared of fiddleback chasubles?
English
@EricSouer Not at all, I think they look like x-ray vests, and they have no precedent in Lutheran use, as far as I know.

It is truly wild how much MLB hates baseball, baseball players, and baseball fans.
Jeff Passan@JeffPassan
MLB today proposed an overhauled domestic amateur-entry system that removes high school players from the draft, makes college players eligible after sophomore year, shortens the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and cuts bonus pool from current $358.7M to $200M, sources tell ESPN.

I just got back from a funeral I did this morning. I realized I’ve made a huge mistake.
I sat down in a comfortable chair.

It rocks having Marcell Ozuna on the Pirates. He can't hit, he can't field, he is a PR nightmare, he's wasting $12 million, it's great.

WE'RE GOING FOR ROUND 3 EVERYBODY
Hard to express how happy this makes me.
With each round of elections, all my fellow #LCMS folks are finally saying what they really think about synodical politics!
More of that!
We should be able to talk about this stuff openly!
English
@PastorBowman Yes's were correct

@TartanLutheran We should get the results of the 2nd round of voting in a few hours, so I'm guessing the results, whether it be an election or going to a third round will dominate.
English
I’m always intrigued about what we will discuss today on Lutheran X.
English
@bschultzy @MattStaneck @lagerandgospel2 But as others have said, it'll take several decades before anything unbiased could/would be written. We're only just starting to get past the point when things can be written about Seminex.
English
@bschultzy @MattStaneck @lagerandgospel2 David Scaer's "Surviving the Storms" is definitely NOT unbiased, but does give a look into what was happening during that era.

Saw a pastor lamenting an aspect of the synod & another member of the synod told him to leave. Don't know the back story, not jumping in. Looks terrible. I hate synod politics, but would love someone to explain a non-partisan objective account of who the groups are.
