The 2009 synod convention will be held July 27-31 at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, Saginaw, Michigan.
Church and Change is seeking to regain its momentum in taking over the Wisconsin Synod and the Little Sect on the Prairie. Those who confess the truth of the Scriptures and Confessions should make a point to be at the Saginaw convention, whethey they have an official role as delegates or not.
The fine details are often handled at the end, with continued business, so no one should go home early. The apostates will be trying to reverse their losses to the bitter end. An old trick of the liberals is to use motions to reconsider and other maneuvers to win as delegates and visitors are trying to head home.

I like how you encourage people to go to the convention. Unfortunately most people won't because they have to work. The younger generation of conservatives will once again have the decisions made by the pompous, old and scabby party-members.
Kudu Don Patterson just added ex-SP Gurgel to his staff. Patterson has also asked for two free staffmembers this year. Oh yes, the synod should pay to expand his kingdom while people are fired right and left. If you like what Gurgel did for the schools and finances of WELS (while shrinking it), vote for the Church and Change agenda. You may win a free trip to Africa to shot down zebras and other carnivores.

Remember Ichabod readers, those of you that are going to be there have to have a way to recognize each other, aside from your wit and sharp attire.
I suggest a password exchange.
Challenge: "Popcorn"
Answer: "Rosebud"
Or sidle up to someone at the buffet and say sotto voce, "What this place *really* needs is a popcorn machine."

Meet select insiders like Ski, Katie, Jeske, Patterson, and members of a secret society plotting against you to deliver you to false doctrine and false teachers.

I don't know where you get your information from, but you are misinformed. "Church and Change" has no agenda to oust President Mark Schroeder. It is not an organization devoted to church politics. It is simply a forum for sharing ministry ideas.
Please get the facts straight before you publish.

GJ - My bad. I must have awakened on the wrong side of the bed. Someone wrote a comment about Wheaties too, but I couldn't publish that. Seriously, the Church and Chicaneries are political, kidney-punching apostates. My information is solid and multi-sourced.

The upcoming convention certainly warrants the attention of Time and Newsweek magazines and other denominations like ELCA and LCMS. There are valuable lessons to be learned from the sinking HMS WELS, for example, things gone right, and things gone wrong.
Prodigal leaders rearranging the chairs on deck will inspire many a line in press releases to the public.

See the 2009 synod convention for what it is: a political convention. Different factions will vie for power, influence, and control. These often do and will motivate them more than you or the Will of God. That is how we got into this mess over the last couple of decades. Pastors are just sinful men.
The synod president is not up for re-election at this convention; his term ends in 2011.
Since these pastors like to stack the deck in favor of their notions and pet ideas, anything goes. Members and the truth get to ride in the back seat if they are lucky.
Do NOT expect the truth and the Will of God to get a fair hearing. Take along sign-making materials and be prepared to protest to get your ideas heard. It is your synod -- not that of a privileged inner group out to use you and God.
Speaking from experience, WELS conventions prove real eye openers. Some real smarmy individuals show up to set the direction for synod and control over you.
There will be no major changes.
There will be no hot button issues like "should we close MLS"
There will be a few speeches, but no real planning.
Go back to sleep.
Plan your Saginaw tea parties, now. No CMO subscriptions without representation and full, truthful disclosure of how funds are used.
Well, there IS a new logo for the WELS....so something WILL be accomplished....
Unemployed? Looking for something real, relevant, and meaningful to do? Organize a tailgate party at the synod convention. Compare notes, open your eyes, and learn for the first time how your synod really is run.

In case you are new to Ichabod and confused, we are fighting a Holy War in WELS to retain the pure, clean Word of God.
The WELS Civil War is on:
Feeling Disappointed!
