One observer--so deep undercover that I cannot use his nickname--thinks the November Chicanery conference will bomb. Who wants to listen to the WELS Homegrown Heretics?
Being on the speakers' list for the November conference is like having a POSH suite on the Titanic. (POSH stands for Port Out, Starboard Home, the best cabins.)
The Chicanery listserve is so leaky that no one posts anything worthy copying to Ichabod. Who monitors that listserve? Oh yes - Jim Aderman, frequent FIC author, contributing FIC editor, and flounder of Church and Chicanery. As Diablo said, "The guy with all the frog kisses on his face." Aderman must have kissed a lot of amphibians, because he was fired for not doing his job, retired, and hired back by the remnant. The Aderman school closed. One thing I will praise the Chicaneries for - they know how to close schools. If they are good at anything, besides copy and paste, it is school closing.
I am awaiting additional details on the Damage Control Meeting for Church and Change. Of course they have their prayer meeting at The Sausage Factory in August, but that is too open.
So far security about the alleged meeting is tighter than the last OPEC cartel meeting. Not that they have anything to hide.
