An Appleton resident reminded me that WELS is definitely not "walking together," even in that hotbed of unionistic Church Growthism. Several WELS churches would not do a pulpit exchange with Witte, Parlow, or Kelm. However, Witte was promoted to the Asian board, so he does not care.
Paul Kelm Victory Lap or Schwan Song?
Another resident says Kelm is giving a Bible study at The Core Lutheran Church. I looked over the schedule, which is pretty bare. The October Groeschel sermons are about "Me and..." - stereotypical CG. There is a Bible study listed - Fuel, the name of a book by Joe White, Focus on the Family. I wonder if that is the Kelm Bible study. I recall FOTF being praised in the Fischer paper.
If Kelm is selling old boilerplate in Oconomowoc, preaching at Wisconsin Lutheran Chapel, and teaching the Word in Appleton, he may be taking his victory lap before retiring. He is 65 in December. Or this may be his swan song - based on the myth that silent swans offer a beautiful song just before dying. Unfortunately, this songster never stopped singing the praises of Deformed doctrine.
Kelm is God's chastisement for WELS' apathy about sound doctrine.
