WELS Pastors Getting Unionistic Degrees:All Are Known Changers

John Lawrenz got a real PhD from Brandeis U. He supported Church and Chicanery with a post that elicited "Pure gold" from VP-in-Waiting Don Patterson. Years ago, Lawrenz gave a sermon where he said - everything must change. That is also the mantra of Mark Jeske.


John Parlow, Willow Creek WELS Pastor, DMin, Denver Seminary

Paul Calvin Kelm, DMin in Church Growth, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. His brother Dan, another Shrinker, and Paul's son both left for the LCMS.

Rich Krause in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, got his DMin from a union consortium in Ohio, supervised by Larry Olson, DMin, Fuller Seminary

Lawrence Otto Olson got his drive-by DMin from Fuller by taking a few courses and writing a paper. Now he, like Rich Krause, calls himself "Dr." Ha.

There is no photo for Steve Witte, so I had to use the only photo on their website. Note that the painting is typically Reformed. Jesus is able to leave the empty tomb because the angels let Him out by opening the door. The Reformed think His divine nature is limited by His human nature, and that is why they deny the Real Presence.

Church and Chicanery leader Witte says
preaching the Gospel is not enough. "The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod is in crisis,
but revival is possible. Its leaders must get into the Scriptures, repent, and pray."

GJ - Doubtless there are more. Most of the American mission and world mission people have studied at Fooler Seminary. I am guessing that world mission people have been routinely trained there before deployment. Extensive training has taken place at Willow Creek as well.

Known Fuller veterans are David Valleskey, F. Bivens, R. Schulz, Joel Gerlach, Norm Berg, Wallhy Oelhafen, Fred Adrian.
