85% of all churches today are in plateau or decline! If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got.

GJ - And people want to argue that WELS is not going to Hell? Holy cow. This confab makes Church and Change look orthodox in comparison.
So where did Paul Kelm earn a doctorate?
Some of you are thinking that Janet Moldstad is the wife of Pope John the Malefactor, but his wife is named Ruth.

The spin and half-truths never stop, do they, Greg? The way you put this article together, you make it look as if Paul Kelm is the guy in the picture, and that he's the pastor of this Alliance church in Appleton.
Mouse is not very sharp. I captioned the picture as the Appleton Alliance pastor, not as Kelm. Google Blogger is limits my ability to place pictures and captions. The rest of the material is verbatim from Kelm's congregational website.
Confidential to Mouse - Why do you need to leave nasty personal attacks every day? I suggest not reading Ichabod for a few years. Or perhaps you could get more fresh air and sunshine. Prunes would probably improve your mood immensely. Nevertheless, I enjoy your personal validation of my blog each day.

It is really Rev. A Nony Mouse? I wish I had someone personally leaving a message on my blog every day!
Anyway...(and I mean this not against you Rev. Jackson) this post has ruined my day. I've heard about such "leadership seminars" before, and the arguement that they aren't ecumenical.
This is apostasy! We have a immutable God but "DR" Kelm would rather believe Christianity is all about change.
We have God's Holy Word made incarnate and the Holy Spirit but no...Pastor Dennis will show us how to grow a church.
Anathemas!

GJ - The courageous poster always uses Anonymous, so I have tweaked his favorite name a bit. He reminds me of a mouse, popping out of his dark hole to take a bite and leave a deposit.
And yet he had to post again!

You're right, Greg. I have better things to do than to read and respond to your garbage. I just wish your other 3 or 4 readers would realize that too.
