Jeff Schwarz, producer par excellence of the radio show Issues, Etc. made a throw-a-way comment on running for president and his former vicar started a page on Facebook for him: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8048400700.I'd vote for him. In one of his weaker moments he made me promise to take over for him if he should die. I suppose public office is a kind of death.
This is a stealth campaign, kind of like Fred Thompson.
There is talk of him running for Synodical President of the LCMS - which begs the question can a layman be SP of the LCMS?
Why not? I defy anyone to show me in sacred scripture the requirements to be Synodical President. Bishops, deacons and presbyters are mentioned, but not Synodical Presidents. So I suppose as it is not truly an office of the holy ministry, Jeff could certainly fill the role.
This is all done in jest of course, Rev. Matt Harrison should fill that role in 2010.
