Synod Finances
Our synod treasurer reports that through the month of February the members of the ELS gave $95,228 to the Lord's work. This is $29,722 short of our projected monthly 2008 budget.
The Left Foot of Fellowship diminishes the Right Hand of Giving, as Pope John the Malefactor has learned.
Except in WELS - The Donor in Columbus, Ohio, was kicked out of WELS, along with his congregation Prince of Peace, and its pastor Marc (not the SP) Schroeder. Money still flows from Prince of Peace to the Sausage Factory in Mequon. Stockholm syndrome?
When WELS was supposedly short of money, SP Gurgel got a Get Out of Jail Free card and found himself in a foreign mission field, mailing "Come to the WELS" goatcart stickers to prospects.
Pope John could help Gurgel in his mission work, once he retires.
