The Wizard of Ooze Conference - Joint Work of ELCA-LCMS-WELSChange or Die, You Legalists!

"Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma from an accredited school, not at all like The Sausage Factory."

Their belief statement is just like CrossWalk and the other emerging churches, which are apparently derived from Rick Warren’s creed. No one can tell who is copying whom among the emergents.

I thought at first the "Change or Die" heading was Icha-hyperbole, but that's what the brochure says. It's another instance of where Icha-blog has to reproduce the evidence or else it's just too hard to believe. Fortunately, there's no shortage of electrons like this is for trees.
