WELS announced that money was cascading into headquarters, so they were sending a new missionary team to Africa.
The Episcopalians have shown that the Third World is now trying to help with American apostasy. Where is the Episcopal Church alive and growing? Africa. Where do Catholic bishops actually believe in official doctrine? Africa.
Two things are odd about this African adventure of WELS. First of all, the impact is bound to be as great as stopping global warming by buying a Prius. (Yes, man-made global warming is a myth, but a greater myth is stopping the mythical effect with an over-enineered and under-powered Prius.)
Secondly, why export all that false doctrine to Africa? WELS is now a finger puppet of Fuller Seminary and Willow Creek. Why not let the liberal Reformed-Pentecostal sects spend their own money on sending the failed Church Growth Movement to Africa?
Worst of all, planting false doctrine in that fertile land is dangerous. Anyone can see how a few generations of Walther-veneration have turned the old Synodical Conference (ELS-LCMS-WELS) into Universalistic sects in union with Pasadena, Rome, and Barrington.
According to the Little Sect on the Prairie, the world is already saved. Why bother to send missionaries to Africa to tell them they are already saved? Just mail a few subscriptions to the Prairie Home Companion, aka, the Lutheran Sentinel?
My scenario would have the chief call in the elders. "Good news, my friends. The Wisconsin Synod is not going to send missionaries after all. They sent a telegram saying we are already righteous, already saved. We will be spared annual once-in-a-lifetime giving opportunities." The crowd cheers, "Huzzah!"
