AC V has left a new comment on your post "Why All the "Christian Academies" Popping Up in WE...":
This is what happens when LESs and LHSs become "outreach" oriented. True story: Because area LCMS high school has enrollment of 40% non-denom students, the High School Association of LCMS congregations is considering admitting to the Ass. the non-denom church with greatest number of students enrolled in said LCMS-HS in order to give policy voting rights.
'nother factoid: Students required to attend religion classes. So as not to offend non-denom students, test questions are worded thus-ly:
"Agree or Disagree: Re the Lord's Supper, the Lutheran tradition teaches the Real Presence." (There is a conscious effort to avoid saying "The Bible teaches...." so as not to put sacrament-denying, non-denom tuition-paying students on the spot.)

GJ - With UOJ, none of this matters, and that is why it has happened.
Floyd Luther Stolzenburg had the WELS laity calling this "Christian-bashing." Yes, any talk about false doctrine or heterodoxy was Christian-bashing.
