In WELSdom, it's supposed to be the duty of the district presidents to uphold doctrine and practice within their respective districts. Jeske is SE Wisconsin District--WELS. David Rutschow is DP of SE Wisconsin District--WELS. Will Rutschow hold Jeske's feet to the fire? Hold not your breath! Witness how the pattern of foolishness at WLC (Marty (ELCA), Weakland (RC), Kaiser (Reformed)has gone on without any real corrective discipline. The COP had to formulate its infamous "outside the framework of fellowship" canon to mollify confessional types while at the same time opening up a loophole for the Shrinkers. So, Jeske makes nice with the S. Wis. LC-MS in convention and discourses at Concordia-Mequon. WELS principles of fellowship and unionism can no longer be taken seriously when DP's fail to address this stuff.

GJ - DP Robert Mueller (1980s) approved all the CG stuff, and defended CG projects. He finally said there was something doctrinally wrong with CG in a newsletter but supported soon after - the creation of CrossRoads Evangelical Covenant Church: Rick Miller, Mark Freier, Kelly Voigt.
Aiding and abetting the Shrinker movement has been the attitude that WELS can do no wrong. Anyone who objects is guilty of the Only Sin in WELS - saying WELS is imperfect.
Shrinkers have used Christian News to advance their agenda too, and Otten has been glad to oblige.
