Women Pastors in WELS

WELS pastoral nightmare after taking too much Nyquil: "Meet the new DP and her Life Partner."

More WELS double-think. Keep in mind that the "answerman" is a seminary professor. What part of St. Paul's inspired words to the Corinthian women does he not understand: Remain Silent. I weep for the faithful in the WELS that see the freight train of pastorettes coming at them but can't seem to get out of the way. I weep for my own synod for its failure to step away from the WELS flawed theology of the public ministry when it had the chance.

GJ - Everyone in the world is forgiven, according to WELS. And, everyone is a minister, too. The Rev. Dr. John Brug stated more than a decade ago that there is "nothing in the Bible against women pastors." Various pastoral papers have said the same thing, Wisconsin pastors being prone to parrot each other, especially when they are wrong.

No One Here Can Love Or Understand Me

Recent Mequon Reunion.

All 12 districts will be meeting in convention early next week to discuss local and synod issues. At two of the conventions, new district presidents will be elected—Rev. Larry Cross, president of the Minnesota district, is retiring June 30 and Rev. Paul Janke, president of the Arizona-California district, is not accepting nominations for re-election.


"For me, 10 years is good," says Janke. "It's been a privilege to serve, but I desire to get back into the parish ministry full time. There is quite a bit of travel involved in being district president, so there are a lot of things in the parish that I miss. I'm really looking forward to teaching Bible studies and Bible information class and visiting—those are some of the real joys."

GJ - Actually, Janke was admonished by a number of pastors not to run for District Pope again. That is when he stepped down. Perhaps the district felt Janke had done enough damage already.

Cross? Cross? That rings a bell. I believe he was involved in the recruitment of Tabor, the WELS pastor who got away with murdering his wife, although the mistress went to prison. Everyone involved with Tabor and the cover-up has come out smelling like roses.

Abortion on Demand Means Eliminating Baby Girls in India and China

India and China are known for allowing only boy babies to be born. China has a One Child policy. In northern India there are cities with a ration of 100 boys to 30 girls being born. Likewise, since the boy must care for his parents when they are older, the boy baby is chosen over the baby girl in China.

Mark Steyn has a warning about what will happen in the next decade or so, with a lack of females to marry in China:

By mid-century, when today's millions of surplus boys will be entering middle age, India and China are expected to account for a combined 50% of global GDP. On present trends, they will be the most male-heavy societies that have ever existed. As I wrote in my book America Alone, unless China's planning on becoming the first gay superpower since Sparta, what's going to happen to all those excess men?

And what of the western world? Canada and Europe are in steep demographic decline and dependent on immigration to sustain their populations.
