Discipline? Three more calls for Kelm.
Willow Creek College has sent out a fund-raising letter under the name of Nathan J. Strobel, Campus Pastor.
SP Schroeder urged WLC not to hire another campus pastor and certainly not on the far edge of apostasy, I am told. Does this sound like Bruce Becker and the Perish Services call? Yes it does - because WLC is the mother ship of Church and Change and Kelm is their kamikaze pilot.
Somehow I got a copy of the letter and it is a hoot. WELS/ELS laity - ask your pastor for a copy.
WLC is a church. Did you know that? They baptize people at the worship services, according to Strobel.
Here is some verbatim from Strobel's letter:
"Just last month we welcomed Pastor Paul Kelm to serve as our second campus pastor. Our students - faculty and staff - are hungry for Bible study and spiritual guidance, and Pastor Kelm will help us satisfy that desire.
He will focus on small group Bible study opportunities that either he or students will lead. We've recently begun a contemporary Sunday evening service that has allowed students to be both participants and leaders in worship. Now Pastor Kelm will take that service to yet another level of campus involvement.
Most importantly Pastor Kelm and I will work with students as well with faculty and staff on how to intentionalize their faith - actually put it into action - for service and outreach. And our Christian peer leadership mentoring program on campus will literally begin to explode off campus, into area high schools where our students can mentor high school students...teaching them how to talk about Jesus no matter how or where life finds them."
Does this sound like The CORE bragging? Ski has been claiming the same thing, yet Kelm could not ignite his copied Fuel Bible study program in A-Town. Kelm was announced as the leader, but the program ran out of gas soon after and sputtered to a stop.
The WLC board, top-heavy with Gunn CrossWalk people, hired Kelm in opposition to the Synod President. Now they want you to pay for him.
