The CGM needs to jump the global warming bandwagon now before it runs out of money. They may even win a Nobel prize.

“On Oct. 8-10 in Nashville, Tenn., Nobel Laureate Al Gore trainedThe Climate Project’s first-ever faith community members to add to its base of 2,500 global volunteers.
He equipped volunteers to give slide-show presentations on global climate change, including its scientific, ethical, spiritual and public policy dimensions.
The group included six ELCA members: Robyn Hartwig, a pastor from Portland, Ore.; David Brauer-Rieke, Oregon Synod bishop; Peter Bakken, Sun Prairie, Wis.; Sam Mozley, Raleigh, N.C.; Carol Baumgartner, a pastor from Racine, Wis.; and Barbara Rossing, professor at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.”

Did WELS / ELS miss this opportunity?

Kieschnick says he likes contemporary services since people invite others to it more readily than liturgical services:

Many pastors have testified that members of their congregations are much more likely to invite non-churched friends and family members to the more informal services rather than traditional services. When asked why this is so, they reply that the non-traditional services generally tend to be more informal, thus providing natural opportunity for visitors to feel more comfortable than is often the case in a formal, more liturgical service.

Podiatrist and member of a Lutheran Church in Detroit (Cascione's breakaway church, maybe?) converted to Islam in 2002 and is married to 3 women simultaneously. He's in court now for polygamy:

Equally astonishing, Mitchell, 48, a practicing Protestant who belongs to a Lutheran church with Miller, had converted to Islam in 2002, taken the Arabic name Mustafa and traveled twice to Saudi Arabia on religious pilgrimages, according to court records.
