The LCMS-ELS-WELS radicals have done exactly what the extreme Left has done in many American institutions, especially higher education and public education. Those people have no idea what Biblical doctrine is, and they prove it every time they write. When your synod teaches the Subjective and Objective Justification of this Calvinist, Leonard Woods, you are in deep trouble.įirst, the colleges and seminaries have to be purged of the leaven of UOJ and Church Growth. In the name of growth - and using up Thrivent dollars so ELCA would not get them - LCMS-ELS-WELS sold the remains of their heritage for a bowl of cold lentil soup. That was like having Paul McCain leading a conference on detecting plagiarism and avoiding Romanism. It began when LCMS-ELS-WELS was willing to participate in a lavishly funded Church Growth Initiative, to "do evangelism" with ELCA and the Fuller divines. They could drop more seminaries, proportionately, than ELCA has, and not be short of bricks and mortar, columns and statues, unused libraries and aging tennis courts. But this merger is not unlike Sears-Kmart, doomed from the start.Īngry voices will claim nothing of the sort is happening, but they have to close many of their dying schools. That has been done with Slovak Zion (LCA) and the English District (LCMS). To salvage some dignity, they may adopt a version of non-geographical synods. They are in merger talks - but not exactly merger. The LCMS-ELS-WELS have been venerating Fuller Seminary, copying its crafts assaults for decades. Teach and trust the efficacy of the Word in the Means of Grace.
