Church and Change claims Synodical approval
WELS President Schroeder Excited for Church and Change. (look under the headlines portion of their grandiose web page) The Church and Change group is claiming the conference was a huge success. I wonder how they are measuring their success?----------------------
update --
After doing a bit of research on this issue here is how I see what has happened:
Shortly after the convention, President Schroeder quoted a convention resolution in his letter to pastors and teachers. The convention resolution quoted in the letter called for expanded efforts in world and home missions using both traditional and innovative means. The convention resolution was referring to recent new programs such as daughter missions and out reach programs to ethnic minorities. This resolution was not a blanket endorsement of all “innovative” approaches. The Church and Change leadership must have reached the conclusion that because of the letter to all called workers President Schroeder is “excited” about the Church and Change efforts. I believe that this fraudulent statement on the Church and Change site must be and will be removed.
