OTHER PRESENTATIONS

Bureau for Federal Chaplaincy Ministries. But they need
our prayer; they need our support; they need our cooperation in their efforts to seek and encourage our chaplains in
that frontline ministry—sometimes literally frontline—for
the 40,000 sons and daughters of our Lutheran congregations, as well as among all the others to whom they minister. And our churches desperately need young pastors to be
open now to the call to chaplaincy service.

2007 Convention Proceedings

May God continue to bless the faithful proclamation of
the Gospel throughout our churches. And may God’s Spirit
guide us as we, without ceasing, declare “One Message—
Christ.” After all, we confess together that “God sent his only
Son into the world so that we might live through Him. . . .
Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one
another” (1 John 4:9 and 11, NRSV).
