Parish Assistance Consultant
The beat goes on: From the latest WELS call report:
Kelm, Rev Paul E -- Parish Assistance Of - Milwaukee WI 09/26/2008
How odd it seems to me as word on the street was SP Schroeder was doing a fine job of rooting out the Church and Change crowd from synodical headquarters. Now we find the esteemed Rev. Kelm is called back to assist congregations in using contemporary worship and reformed sermons. Is he called back to start another spiritual growth program?
Why oh why?

GJ - I have some suggestions for calls, on a level with Kelm as a parish consultant:
1. Joe Biden to oversee and discipline WELS plagiarism cases.
2. The head of Fannie Mae, to supervise investments.
3. A Hybels fan, to run technology. Oh, that was done already.
4. A Church and Change board member, for Adult Discipleship. What? Bruce Becker is already in that role? I forgot...no, I was just rubbing it in.
This is really sad. No one has been more openly Reformed than Kelm. That is all he taught at WLC (Our Valpo), a course required for graduation.
WELS has shown, for the last 30 years, that doctrinal discipline is aimed at Lutherans only. The closeted Calvinists have won another one with this call.
Has The Love Shack been informed that plagiarism is against the law?
James Huebner (another consultant, with Larry Olson) admitted to me that all three of them--Kelm, Huebner, Olson--were trained at Fuller Seminary to be parish consultants.
So WELS, some years ago, under the blighted administration of Mischke, paid Fooler Seminary money to train these dolts to promote the Pentecostal-Baptist agenda in the Lutheran Church. Every time Kelm got in trouble as a false teacher, he skated to a new position.
And now he has skated back.
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools,
'cause love rules at The Lo-o-ove Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of Mayfair,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back.
