I am a 5th generation WELS guy and have no plans to leave.
KJV 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
King Jeske Version - Moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man trace his DNA back five generations. There, I said it.
The ELS recently asked, "How significant is Church and Change in WELS? Is Jeske really the leader of that group?"
Answer - Church and Chicanery still infests WELS Headquarters (aka The Love Shack).
The Church Growth Movement = Church and Change = Perish Services, Mission Boards, and FIC. Perish Services has spent lavishly on itself while charging enormous sums to congregations for boilerplate advice, without putting in the right fill-in-the-blanks information. One WEF had this - "When the bells stop ringing, and the service starts..." Members laughed. Another church saw the wrong congregational name here and there in their custom report. For this, Perish Services charges $7,000 to $35,000. Next, Ron Roth and Jeff Davis step in to raise funds - for themselves. Nice work.
Jeske the head of Chicanery? Listen to him blab about himself and change in his Mequon lecture. Read his blog about "everything must change" - with awe and wonder. Look at the Church and Change stealth board of directors:
Brian Lampe - from St. Markus.
Ski - worked at St. Markus.
Bruce Becker - now works for Time of Generic Grace.
Nathan Krause presents at Chicanery conferences but serves as a pastor in the confessional ELS? Where is the Left Foot of Fellowship so vigorously extended by the hobnail boot of Pope John the Malefactor?
