Losing Momentum - Dom Patterson Point Man Leaves WELS Synodical Council





VP Don Patterson has affluent members, so one must wonder why he has his hand out for more synod money.

Robert Timmerman owns a business called Fine Lumber (http://www.www.finelumber.com/). He was the congregational president but is probably an Elder now. He has served on the national WELS Synodical Council. He has funded safaris for Kudu Don Patterson and Missionary Johne (father-in-law of Marc Schroeder, who was booted from WELS and joined Missouri with his congregation).

GJ - In case anyone doubts the Church and Chicanery side of Dom Perignon Patterson - he attended the latest conventicle meeting. Judging by their extended bargain ticket offer, it was more of a conventicle than a convention.

Dom Patterson also gathered a group of WELS workers to attend the Exponential Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Timmerman offered this insight about Lutheran worship - "mostly adiaphora."

The official story is that Timmerman left the SC because he did not agree with the direction of the synod, as evidenced by the last convention. I refuse to believe the unofficial version.

More will develop, soon, I am sure.
