Church and Change Has Its Own Website

WELS has its own agency of apostasy, linked on the official WELS.net website - Church and Change. Is this strange? Church and Change has its own website, but registration for its conference is direct from the WELS website.

People think that their church leaders enforce doctrinal fidelity. In fact, the church leaders make sure the Scriptures are seldom followed. WELS has gone one extra step in encouraging apostasy, by helping people sign up for the expensive Church and Change Wingding, to be held October 15th.

Linking Church and Change on the WELS website is like having Jesus First linked on the LCMS website. Some may recall that Missouri linked ELCA and AAL as Ministry Partners on their website, then got huffy when I exposed the page in Christian News.

The non-ELCA synods are famous for pretending to be conservative to the point of being hide-bound. They are little models of ELCA. The difference is that ELCA is honest about its non-beliefs.

The WELS AnswerMan fielded a question today on closed communion, saying it was the policy of WELS and Missouri. Everyone knows just the opposite is true. Most Missouri congregations have wide-open communion. Other LCMS congregation welcome ELCA drive-by communicants, as long as they say something to the pastor. WELS' position is, "Don't ask. Don't tell." The ELS is famous for communing ELCA members and all kinds of weirdness not associated with doctrinal orthodoxy. Mind-numbing hypocrisy is rewarded in The Little Sect on the Prairie. David Jay Webber, the Lion of Scottsdale, long ago advocated communing ELCA members and had no qualms about associating his ELS work with that of Floyd Luther Stolzenburg. In the ELS, that is considered principaled leadership. "If you have the principal, we have the interest."
