Gregory L. Jackson has left a new comment on your post "Book List for Students of the Word":
Narrow-minded, UOJ unites everyone because it eviscerates all creeds. That may be why the creedless ELCA pastors join the Roman priesthood, simply to have some standard of truth.
Since UOJ is the only real doctrine of WELS, the only one they teach with vigor and brain-dead obstinacy, all other points are adiaphora.
UOJ is the license that allows WELS and Missouri to work hand-in-glove, or claw-and-hoof, with ELCA. UOJ gives the ELS permission to go along with Enthusiasm while carrying the Book of Concord around like the True Cross of Jerusalem.
UOJ is mainline denominational doctrine, the NCC and WCC in a nutshell.
