We know that Stetzer sealed his contract with Church and Change in late July this year, to be the keynote speaker in November of 2009. See the posted information below.
Church and Change has not told the truth about this. Nothing is posted at this moment.
Bruce Becker, Church and Change board member, has not told the truth about the Kelm call. He kept that a secret from his own synodical leader. In fact, he pointedly disobeyed the advice given by the Synodical President. Now his Church Shrinkage unit (called Perish Services) will load up on costs as the country enters a major recession.
Not all is lost. St Mark's was running in the red. The move will help them a lot.
Parlow, a Church and Change Obi-Wan, says, "Thanks, Bruce, for taking Kelm off my hands."
