I am a rank and file layman in an LCMS congregation  in Florida.  While viewing the Yankee Stadium event on television, I was thrilled  to see Dr. Benke participating!   Never dreaming what lay ahead, I looked up his email address and forwarded a simple message extending my thanks for representing LCMS and for praying in the name of our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I was proud of him  then and I'm proud of him now.  I'll leave the legalistic wrangling and the esoteric Biblical interpretation to those who seem to find solace there.  I find it in prayer, and right now my prayer is for reconciliation within LCMS so our witness to the world will be something of which I can also be proud.
