He owned a house in Green Bay, now up for sale.
WELS Lutherans are even denser in Milwaukee than in Fox Valley.
The district conventions are coming up in WELS. If the members and pastors roll over and play dead, as they have for 30 years, Church and Change will take over again. They are hardly gone. Every fired Love Shack drone has shown up employed a few weeks later, if not sooner: Becker, Kelm, Stroh.
Gunn was going to be gone and CrossWalk no longer at the WELS area school in Phoenix. Instead, Gunn and another member were elected to the Church and Change board of Willowcreek's Little College, and the new college prez is also from CrossWalk, a non-sacramental, no-denomination sect in the semi-empty Western burbs.
Since Jahnke, the previous DP, and DP Nitz before him, both Shrinkers, coddled and encouraged the CGM pastors, a reaction is probably setting in against Buchholz for daring to question the sainthood of a Shrinker hero - Gunn.
That is the problem with using political means to deal with doctrinal issues. One cannot defend UOJ and criticize the Church Growth Movement. They are two faces of Enthusiasm.
Every district meeting will be a vote on WELS returning to its suicidal pursuit of Fuller dogma. Kieschnick put all his chips on the darlings of Church and Change (Sweet, etc) and he is going down in flames. That is precisely why Gurgle was shown the door. In both cases it is easier to talk about the financial crises created by both men, but the problem behind incompetent leadership is false doctrine.
Church and Change had a national meeting in 2009, for "Regaining Momentum." They are organized for it - determined to keep their trotters in the trough of synod subsidies, foundation grants, and Thrivent loot. If you want to find the Changers in your district, drag a $100 bill through the audience on a string. They will follow out the door and ask about matching funds.

"trough of synod subsidies, foundation grants, and Thrivent loot"
Don't forget School Choice tax funds, 4th grade kindergarten funds, and inviting HeadStart or pre-schools to use the parochial gradeschool building that the shrinkers close because it takes money that they SAY they want to put toward their hiked salaries and "adult outreach," as is occurring in Appleton, and has happened many places elsewhere.

Reminder - Plagiarism and Fraud Are Crimes:
Former Harvard student accused of faking his way in
Adam Wheeler's plan to fake his way into and through Harvard University worked for years, prosecutors allege, until he tried to get a university endorsement for a Rhodes Scholarship his senior year.
That's when a professor noticed Wheeler's writings were nearly identical to those of another professor. The professor dug through Wheeler's application packet for the Rhodes and Fulbright scholarships and found fabricated recommendations from Harvard professors, a falsified transcript showing perfect grades and a much-too-impressive resume listing books co-authored, lectures given and courses taught, The Harvard Crimson reported.
The professor alerted school officials, who began an investigation into Wheeler's student file. Prosecutors allege Wheeler, now 23, also lied when he applied to Harvard in 2007, claiming to be a transfer student from Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a perfect academic record from Phillips Academy in Andover, the Associated Press reported.
Wheeler was arrested on Monday and indicted on 20 offenses, including larceny, identity fraud and pretending to hold a degree. Harvard estimates Wheeler duped them out of $45,000 in financial aid, grants and scholarships. He is scheduled to appear in Middlesex Superior Court Tuesday.
In a Boston Globe story that's rich in details from court documents an anonymous Harvard professor likened the case to the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley.''
