Conference of Pussycats against Habitat for Humanity, But Jeske is There To Bless

Thrivent warned their troops that WELS was against Habitat for Humanity.

Why did they invite Jeske to bless their project?

Crowds are gathering now - preparing for the home dedication service. County Executive, Scott Walker, along with leaders from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity and the Carmel Builders Crew to celebrate the dream of home ownership for the Williams Family. Pastor Mark Jeske from Time of Generic Grace Ministry gives a blessing and we all give thanks!

GJ - I figure Thrivent operates like those beauty contents, where money is given away but personal appearances are required as part of the indenture agreement. Jeske got plenty of loot from Thrivent, so he has to bless their ecumenical projects - not that unionism bothers him. He was also in the newspaper for speaking at a Missouri worship service where John Bauer was installed.

John Bauer, new head of Bethesda, Watertown.
Bauer earned his doctorate in education administration and supervision from Marquette University and for 22 years he served as the chief academic officer for Wisconsin Lutheran College. He was also the executive director of the CHARiS Institute, an affiliate of the college devoted to the scholarly study of challenges facing the church. advancing Reformed doctrine, unionism, and general craziness.

LCMS DP Wille graduated from Wisconsin's semary, upgrading  to Missouri.

Mark Jeske was a Mequon classmate.

Participants in Saturday's service include the Rev. Earl Bleke, Bethesda's chief religious life officer, and the Rev. John Wille, president of the South Wisconsin District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. The special guest speaker for the service will be the Rev. Mark Jeske of the Time of Generic Grace Ministries based in Milwaukee.

GJ - What have we learned today? The same names keep appearing together. Jeske is the secretive leader of Church and Change in WELS. John Bauer was head of Charis at Willow Creek Lutheran College, where Church and Change was born, with hefty donations from the WELS offering plate and a boost from Perish Services. WELS is the Groundhog Day Synod. The same things keep happening to the same people every day.

For example, as proven by Ichabod, Church and Change bemoaned the hub-bub over the Open Door Symposium that was canceled. Joe Krohn voiced his support on the secret listserve. Bauer thanked everyone for their support. You can find this by using the search function on this blog and putting in "John Bauer." Small world.

Here are the blind leading the blind, on the subject of fellowship.

Would it shock you if the very same books were to be found in the Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary Library? I see book burnings on the horizon.

It is interesting that we allow our pastors the opportunity of seeking theological degrees from institutions outside our circles. They sit at the "feet of heretics" in order to gain their degree. Are we saying that they should go through a colloquy before they can continue on with their ministry? After all, they could become spiritually contaminated during their training and in the process

contaminate their members. The argument that they are pastors and can tell the difference between good and false theology doesn't always stand up since there have been pastors who have gone astray.
