Not Exactly One in Doctrine - But One in Speling Spelling

I've visited churches belonging to all of these, with the exception of Protes'tant, but I am well aquainted (sic) with several Protes'tant families. I also know one AFLC church and its pastor quite well, but because their denomination is so decentralized, I hesitate to say I know the denomination because I know one church.

I have visited at around 100 LCMS/LCC) churches in three countries, all the way from Hong Kong and the West Coast to the East Coast, the South, both the cities and rural Midwest, and the Great Plains. I have a good idea what Missouri is like. Missouri varies greatly depending on where you are. In some places, closed communion is not normal and not expected. In some places, churches are expected not to interfere with couples living together outside of marriage. I've communed with both a Protes'ant and an ELCA friend of mine together at the same time at an LCMS church. I've listened to a band perform "Carry On Wayward Son" for the offeratory (sic). I've taken communion from a woman distributing it. Once I even saw the deaconess do the litury (sic) and preach the sermon because the pastor wasn't there.

I am only well acquainted with one LCMS church that still practices male-only sufferage (sic), but I stopped going there because the pastor is a millenalist (sic). Still, otherwise he was quite orthodox, even devoting one sermon (the 5 year anniversary of the Benke incident) to condemning that act of unionism.

I've attended conservative political action meetings in the Missouri Synod. The last one I attended featured a speaker that held pastors had the right to excommunicate by personal fiat. Not a single pastor or layman there challeged (sic) him on that point, but one old-Missourian retired district president left the meeting in protest.

How much of the Missouri Synod are you familar (sic) with. How well do your experiences really match your claim?

I'm of the view that WELS, ELS, CLC, and Protes'tant pastors are more conservative than the vast majority of LCMS pastors. All four of these all practice male-only sufferage (sic). Church Growth has only made baby steps in the ELS and its intrusion into the WELS has met widespread opposition.

Rock and Roll Lutheran Church - One Web Page

Lucky for me, Rock N Roll is near the Rock N River Family Aquatic Center.

They can do immersions there - on D-Day, Dedication Day.

 I went to the Holy Word website (Kudu Don Patterson) and found Vicar Tiefel's photo missing. I thought they had a new, free vicar by now. Tiefel was still listed as the vicar, but his very large photo was erased. Not to worry - I have a copy I kelmed a few months ago.

Since I was in the neighborhood, I dropped by the Church from Scratch.net websty. Only one page was posted. Whiney sermon about having a cold and needing a $200,000 grant - gone. Photo of the lovely and highly paid assistant - gone. Sermons carefully copied from Schwaermer - gone. Little Rockers - my favorite - gone.

Perhaps they are revamping the ultra-cool website, to see if they can bump attendance higher than 30.

They already canned Joe Krohn, lead rocker and ex-blogger for Rock and Roll worship entertainment.

Everyone knows the only means of grace for Chicaneries is - money. As Luther warned, the very thing you demand from God will be denied by God.

Church and Change is now in epic fail mode. They will keep trying, but the ambitious ones tied their wagons to a star, forgetting it was a meteorite plunging to earth.

What ever happened at the C and C conference earlier this month? How many showed up?

All the gang was there: Kelm, Parlow, Becker, Ski, Patterson, et al. They held a special conclave to see if they could stem the WELS' slide back into Confessional Lutheranism.

Does anybody know what their plan is to regain their momentum? How many participants did they have? I hope somebody was taking names so they know to whom the left foot should be given. Were they really so bolden as to come out and say they want to keep WELS from being a confessional Lutheran church body? Pastor Jackson, have you heard from an eyewitness who was actually there at their conference?

GJ - Church and Change does not forward attendance sheets to me. Someone reported on the main thugs being there. I urged confessional Lutherans to attend. Apostates infiltrate every conservative meeting, but they are very suspicious about who attends theirs.

Chicaneries do not mention the word "confessional." They use these words instead - "legalistic, hateful, bigoted, hidebound, old-fashioned, Christian-bashing, narrow-minded."

The Church of Sweden on Sunday ordained a female pastor as the country's first openly homosexual bishop, just weeks after approving gay marriages.

• Anglicans snub Swedish lesbian bishop (4 Nov 09)
• Church of Sweden says yes to gay marriage (22 Oct 09)
• Swedish lesbians more likely to wed than gay men (21 Jul 09)
• Anglo-Swedish rift over church gay marriage (16 Jul 09)

Eva Brunne, 55, was consecrated as the Bishop of Stockholm in a ceremony at Uppsala cathedral, just north of the Swedish capital, the Church of Sweden said in a statement.

Along with Brunne, another female pastor, Tuulikki Koivunen Bylund, was ordained to take over as Bishop of Härnösand in northern Sweden.

The ceremony marked the first time in the history of the Swedish church that two women had been consecrated as bishops at the same time.

Brunne is in a civil union partnership with another woman. Together they are the guardians of a three-year-old child.

The Church of Sweden, which was the state church until 2000, had backed the parliament's adoption of the gay marriage law, which took effect on May 1. But its synod only approved church weddings on October 22.

Sweden, already a pioneer in giving same-sex couples the right to adopt children, becomes one of the first countries in the world to allow gays to marry in a major Church.

Around three-quarters of Swedes are members of the Lutheran Church.

Global Warming Bombshell

The biggest news story of the day is one that has barely begun to break and will continue to reverberate for months or years to come. Someone hacked into a computer at the University of East Anglia's Hadley Climatic Research Centre, one of the main centers of anthropogenic global warming research. The hacker downloaded 62 megabytes of data from the server, consisting of around 1,000 emails and a variety of other documents. He uploaded them to an FTP server, where they were available to the public, apparently, for only a few hours. The event is described here.

Before the documents disappeared from that location, several people had downloaded them and posted them in other locations. I downloaded all of the material earlier today and have begun to review it. The emails are stunning. They are authored by many of the leading figures in the global warming movement: Michael Mann, James Hansen, Phil Jones, Keith Briffa, Stephen Schneider, and others. They are remarkably candid; these individuals talk to each other with the knowledge that they are among friends.
