I am despondent - First of all, my daughter's WELS church out east has been letting folks commune who are not even members. Second, my cousin's WELS church in Wisconsin is letting women vote.

GJ - All this was true in Columbus in the 1980s. They crowed about it, loved it, promoted it. Look at The SORE, the cutting edge of WELS. That is the future: munching popcorn during the prayers, oogling celebrisluts in the pastor's Facebook albums, inviting atheist rock bands for the mission's start-up.
Not to worry - everyone is "working on it."
Write a letter so you can learn about WELS hating on you. They are good at it.
