Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "WELS Pastor Joel Lillo Asks for a Different Photo....":
It captures the combination of bemusment (sic) and sadness I get when reading your contribution to the web
What I hear is:
"Where's the love? It's like, this blog just doesn't get it. Doesn't Ichabod know that the (W)ELS New Age Emergent ministries are just head over heals in love with Jesus and just want to share that with everyone and in any way that the world might be open to. The old ways aren't working anymore and the New Age evangelicals are blazing new trails into methods that work, methods that are relevant and methods that people today are interested in. If (W)ELS wants to relate to people of today they're going to have to change, stop talking about doctrine which divides Christ's people, all people, and live the life Christ wants us to live, working for him, because when we finally get it and hand over our lives to him, he succeeds."

GJ - Glende and Lillo are bummed because Katy Perry's evangelist mother is upset about her daughter's
Their precious UOJ is under assault by one of their own - Gausewitz, who was pastor of Grace, Milwaukee and head of the Olde Synodical Conference. WELS taught justification by faith in its Gausewitz catechism, 1917-1982, then miraculously discovered UOJ in the David Kuske catechism of 1982.
The Enthusiasts of Fox Valley do not mind if I quote Luther, Chemnitz, Melanchthon, or Chytraeus. Their pals do not know or remember any of those dudes. They are like the confirmation students who say, "Moses? Heard of him." But Gausewitz was a household term in WELS for many decades and highly respected in the Synodical Conference.
Thank you, researchers and emailers who brought this up. More on the topic will appear shortly.
