Narrow-minded Lutheran has left a new comment on your post "Waldo Werning, LCMS, Reveals His Church Growth Net...":
I started to read "Making Missouri Functional Again," but couldn't bear to finish it. From skimming through it, the point just seemed to be to slam Fort Wayne. Dr. Scaer and Dr. Marquart were portrayed as part of some conspiracy.
I often wonder what caused the Ft. Wayne mass-exodus to Constantinople. Yes, most of it is simply not adhering to the Lutheran confessions. But I also believe some of it was over-compensation for the CG infection in the LCMS. "High Church to the max" for the sake of Law and not Gospel could lead to infatuation with EO, witness Fenton.

GJ - Lest you forget, Werning also went after me for two pages in Functional.
The irony about The Surrendered Fort and Our Lady of Sorrows* is this - they were so disgusted with Entertainment Evangelism from Church Growth that they went for Entertainment Evangelism from Rome and Constantinople.
I favor formal, liturgical services - even high church worship. However, the new mode is clearly a case of worshiping the style of worship while sinuflecting to Rome, perhaps with a short stay in Istanbul first. UOJ led the way to Church Growth and to Incense Growth.
* - The Surrendered Fort is Concordia, Ft. Wayne
Our Lady of Sorrows is Concordia, St. Louis.

Waldo Werning! He was awarded the McGavran(spelling?) Church growth award. It's true. Could you even imagine? Bruce Eberle(aka Jeske's BFF, aka rightwing Washington insider of fund raining scams, aka gazillionaire) of the Church And Change fringe of the WELS, worked for Werning's God's Word To The Bible Society. This is all part of the deadly achievement of a one world religion. God has been demoted to the Grand Architect. I thought that we were saved through faith in Jesus.
In Christ,

Church Lady,
I know Bruce Eberle personally. Back in the day we helped start a WELS mission church in Sterling, VA. I don't know if I would describe him as a "gazillionare". I might better describle him as a millionare or very wealthy. However, he does have less money now after the million he gave to WLC and his support of TOG. I'm surprised he hasn't done into politics!

Don't question the Spirit-anointed wisdom of Eberle. He will go after your job. Such are the good works of Jeske's Little Sect.
No, I never ran into him myself, and I never bothered to argue with his self-serving claptrap. But I know his claque does not accept criticism.
When my former WELS congregation started using Waldo Werning material for their in-home ambassador program, a red flag went up. In fact, there were more red flags up than a good day of ice fishing on Lake Winnebago in the middle of January. Those who are residents of the armpit of the WELS, the Fox Valley, will understand that analogy.
Dr. Jackson,
One of the joys of being out of the WELS teaching ministry is that Bruce Eberle can no longer go after my job. I wish I did have a job he could go after.....
