Lutheran Notes has added some cartoons and other material.
I copied the photo from the blog. Mr. Notes has promised not to sue me or threaten me or send me a free ticket to the WELS Ed Stetzer show in 2009. Every time I publish the truth about WELS, someone from Church and Change calls me a liar. However, they have not told the truth about Stetzer yet.
Back to The Surrendered Fort
Their Roman Catholic/ELCA gab-fest is coming up. David Scaer, in the photo, organizes these things. One LCMS pastor attended the Father Neuhaus lecture at Ft. Wayne and became a Roman Catholic. His blog is Beatus Vir (Blessed is the man who...popes?)
I give David Scaer credit for Romanizing and Orthodoxing (Eastern, that is) the seminarians. Weinrich shares the honors.
David has his son teaching there. Meier, father and son, are also teaching at The Surrendered Fort. WAM the Elder was married in 1951, about when the Grand Canyon was being completed. Just joking - he is a nice guy.
The LutherQuest (sic) boys were raving once about how I went to Notre Dame. Most of the faculty at The Surrendered Fort seem to have PhDs from Notre Dame, starting with their president. When I pointed that out, LQ switched to a new lupine chorus.
The two LCMS seminaries are turning out priests--Scaer's favorite term. The Sausage Factory and The Little Schoolhouse on the Prairie are producing Babtists, charismatics, and Freedom From Religion leaders.
Here is another way to save money - shut down the seminaries. They are no longer greenhouses for Lutheran doctrine. They are launching pads for extremist, anti-Lutheran sects.
There is no shortage of pastors because the Baby Boomer pastors have wrecked their synods. Congregations and schools are closing or merging (the second term being a polite word for closing). If the synods reverted to the old School of the Prophets, where boys were trained in a parsonage, they would have better results.
Or maybe the Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox could produce some Lutheran pastors at their schools since we are doing so much for them.

GJ - More information is coming from...the man who kept the Paul Copycat Kelm call a secret from the Synod President?
More information from...the people who did not answer Joe Krohn's simple question on their list-serve, "Is Church and Change inviting Stetzer?"
More information from...the pastors who are ashamed to admit they belong to a Lutheran group?
