Welcome DK

Rose by Norma Boeckler

On the list of those who follow Ichabod is DK, who reads such books as Albert Howard's work on Soil and Health, plus another fine book - The Plowman's Folly. Howard is the first of the organic gardening authors, in history and the estimation of others. Folly is a great book on rethinking modern agricultural practices.

CGM Troglodytes: The Sausage Factory, Class of 1970

John Huebner, Board Member, Church and Change.


Wayne Mueller taught at The Sausage Factory, became head of Parish Services (a job created for him), and became First VP of WELS. One of the first Church Growth gurus of WELS, he denied there was any CG in WELS.


Ron Ash, chairman of the board, Church and Change, godfather of Ski's latest cool adventure: CORE.



Harry Hagedorn has been head of American missions forever.
Like Norm Berg before him,
he has championed all the fads of Fuller Seminary and Willow Creek:
open communion, women teaching men, felt needs, non-Lutheran worship.

Paul Kelm, 64, is the elder statesman of Reformed doctrine in WELS. Always in trouble but never out of an influential job, Kelm is back at The Love Shack, proving "a dog returns to his vomit." (2 Peter 2:22)

James Radloff and David Valleskey, both Church Growth gushers, were in the class of 1962.

Some interesting associations can be found in the class of 1971: Richard Stadler, John Trapp, Forrest Bivens, Adolph Harstad, and John Brug. The doctrinal attitudes of this group run from "No problems with women's ordination" (Brug) to double back-flips for Church Growth (Bivens, who went to Fuller Seminary before he never went to Fuller Seminary).

The Sausage Factory, Class of 82

Peter Pan-denominational is now a chaplain. He extols The Simple Church.

Only a True Blue WELS pastor can appreciate the meaning of graduating in the same class from The Sausage Factory, where souls are fused together through the sadistic secret rituals of GA.

This may just be a coincidence, but here are a few graduates of The Class of 1982:

Peter Panitzke, Church and Change.

Jeff Gunn, Crosswalk - Church and Change.

Paul Jahnke, the Doctrinal Pussycat who let Gunn's stealth church alone while he fired other pastors. He was asked to vacate the episcopal chair.

James Mattek - WLCFS CEO: Patterson is on the board.

Michael Albrecht - Helped Stadler take their congregation out of WELS.

Mark Freier - Crossroads, S. Lyon, Michigan. CGM star of WELS: no longer Lutheran.

Bruce Becker - Church and Change board member, WELS Parish Services top dog.

Kingpins of Church and Change

ELS Pastor Nathan Krause used to prop up the Concordia Triglotta on his desk each morning at The Sausage Factory and rest his chin on it, to sleep. Class of '87.


Two board members of Church and Chicanery are from St. Marcus' staff, no surprise to Mark Jeske.


Parish Services is the Magna Cloaca of Church Growth at The Love Shack, and Bruce Becker gets big bucks to run it. He is also a board member of Church and Change, so WELS pays him a princely salary to destroy Lutheran doctrine. How cool is that? as Ski would say.


WELS funded Church and Change, which first met at John Parlow's church, I believe. Parlow--photographed at a Babtist conference--graduated from The Sausage Factory in 87, just like Krause above. Some other CGM stars from that class: Bill Favorite (Crosswalk, Phoenix); Randy Cutter (Florida CG disaster, no longer Lutheran); Rick Miller (founder of Mueller-Kuske's Crossroads Community Church in S. Lyon, Michigan). Wayne Mueller and David Valleskey were both on the faculty.


Gunga Don Patterson, VP of a Babtist district with DP Glaeske. WELS members wish the two would grow a pair...of spines, and insist on Lutheran doctrine and worship. Who got the Rock and Roll Church started?

---

GJ - These people have been bragging and strutting for years about their destructive programs of apostasy. Patterson has let others come out as Church Growth leaders, while he remains one of most influential.

Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now?

Doubtless, Church and Chicanery parishes
have been threatening to leave for years.

What are the odds that we will observe a strong secessionist movement by Church and Change congregations to leave the WELS, especially if the synod tries to reign in some of the more liberal congregations?Do you think C & C churches might opt to join either Missouri or ELCA ?

I hope desperately that the Church and Change congregations will secede. The synod will be much, much better for it.

Do you think C & C churches might opt to join either Missouri or ELCA ?personally, if they continue on their course i'd rather see them join there or start their own synod than have them continue to contaminate and water down the wels. pray president schroeder can help our synod. God help us all.

These WELS congregations would be far more at home among those in the charismatic wing of LCMS -- the "Renewal in Missouri" congregations -- and among the congregations of the AALC (of currently Charismatic and, going way back, formally Pietistic subscription), which now enjoys formal fellowship with LCMS.Freddy Finkelstein

If C&C churches wish to leave, I will hold the door open for them.
