I did not know where to post this but this is FYI:
The Michigan District Commission of Evangelism will present a seminar on Saturday, October 24th, beginning at 10:00 AM at Beautiful Savior, Cincinnati. The title for the seminar is "Reaching Out In a Digital World." The seminar has been prepared by Martin Spriggs, our synod's chief technology officer. The purpose of the seminar will be to help congregations:
* Recognize and understand the many technological tools available for use in outreach.
* Develop a plan to use the most appropriate digital tools to spread the Gospel.
* Mobilize congregational members to use digital tools for personal evangelism.
* Determine clear goals for outreach using the tools of today.
This smells like church and change to me.

GJ - Here are a few hints:
- Spriggs gave Willow Creek sermons verbatim, 25 years ago. His pastoral service was not listed in his WELS.net bio the last time I looked.
- When Eastcoast insisted to me that Gurgle had disbanded Church and Chicanery completely - "gone, dissolved, scattered to the wind" - I asked, "Then why is their next conference linked on the WELS.net website? I am sure Spriggs would know why. Gurgle's candidate for SP is Don Patterson, so Gurgle is to Patterson as Bohlmann was to Kieschnick.
- Anything from "Evangelism" in WELS, ELS, LCMS, ELCA, and CLC is Church Shrinkage.
- Anything from American or world missions in those groups is Church Shrinkage.
- Their periodicals promote Church Shrinkage.
- One WELS pastor said, in print, that the crypto-Calvinists are no longer crypto. They are running the show. If SP Schroeder is supported, that can change, but it is a long haul, especially when the Good Ol' Boy network, cemented by GA abuse, is involved.
