UPDATE for 3/28

Return to the Issues, Etc. Petition

A hearty THANK YOU to everyone for showing your support for "Issues, Etc.". Todd and Jeff have been touched by your kind words and encouraged by your moving testimonies of how God has used "Issues" to ignite your hearts with the Gospel.

In addition to signing the petition, we encourage you to make your concerns known by emailing the following individuals:
The Rev. Gerald Kieschnick, president of The Missouri Synod - president@lcms.org
David L. Strand, Executive Director of the Board for Communication Services - david.strand@lcms.org

Read about "Issues" in the Wall Street Journal.

Objective news regarding the cancellation is difficult to locate. The 3/27 statement from Mr. Strand's office is misleading. Below are some sites you may visit to keep up with the buzz:
