Dr. GJ,
A PhD costs around $32,000 a year. A DMin is close to that, but the program only runs a short time since it is not a doctorate,
Wowser, I would never be able to do a PhD with that expense. If DMin is that close in expenses, it would be to the student's interest to recover that expense when he graduates, no?

"The pastors who want to be known as Dr. are....."
That's interesting. The WELS teaching on the Office of the Holy Ministry is that pastors are teachers and teachers are pastors. Case in point. Check out the presenters listed in the "WELS National Conference on Worship, etc." mailer. No "Rev.", nor "Dr." either. Just us good ol' boys.

Brett,
I wanted to add what does the power of the keys effect, if sins have been already remitted
Perfect argument, but do the UOJers have anything to say on this point?
Nothing, they just ignore this point and go on promoting UOJ.

Brett,
Over here we still hear the pastor say "I absolve the sins of you who repent and believe".
This thankful inconsistency happens despite some pastors here being influenced by Walther's UOJness.
Your Icha-bud,
LPC

Here's one for ya:
"Wir sind von dem Wisconsin Synode; wir machen kein 'show.'" We're from the Wisconsin Synod; we don't make a show. - August Pieper
Sounds like "emerging church" thinking to me.
