The Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of the LCMS, addresses the assembly, stressing the efforts made on behalf of Concordia College Alabama “to find a way forward,” efforts put in by the Board of Directors, Concordia University System and the presidents of its colleges and universities, the Lutheran Church Extension Fund, and the Council of Presidents, as well as by the regents and campus leadership, in “a context that was absolutely impossible to face.” Harrison noted the pain, especially for those directly connected, of losing Selma; the historical challenges of and hardships in Black Ministry; his “feeling horrible” at the loss of the campus “on [his] watch;” and his prayer that “we can go forward.” He noted sadness that the “worst construction” is being put on “what was the effort of decades to make the thing go," during the 67th Regular Convention of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod on Wednesday, July 24, 2019, at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Fla.
