How Al Sorum Began Teaching at WLS, aka The Sausage Factory


Step One: WLS President Wendland joined Al Sorum's congregation.



Step Two: Al Sorum, Heresiarch of Church Growth, got a job teaching false doctrine at The Sausage Factory, Mequon.



Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "My Predictions for WELS":

FYI
The current president of the Sausage Factory is also as growthy as they come. When he came to Mequon he chose to join -- out of all the WELS churches in Southeastern Wisconsin -- Garden Homes, pastored by none other than overt growth guru E.A. Sorum. Not long after, Sorum was called to case sausages under Wendland at the factory. Coincidence?

Also, it's well known that Valleskey picked Wendland to be his replacement as Factory Foreman.
