I opposed Church Growth and clergy adultery because our daughters Bethany and Erin Joy died, according to WELS.
The pastor who followed me at Shepherd of Peace, Jenswold, tried the same line on his ELCA pastor friend, Bruce Foster.

By the way, I put up a blog post about Jackson. How sick is it that he is running a "congregation" named after his deceased child and doing "Internet communion"? He has kindly provided a graphic of yours truly as Pope Paul the Unlearned. I like it. Here's the blog post: http://cyberbrethren.com/2011/06/03/a-lutheran-pas tor-and-his-long-distance-congregation/ |
Pope Paul the Unlearned on UOJ:

Alan: No, of course not. Jackson betrays his fundamental lack of a good, solid Lutheran theological education. He can't wrap his brain around the fact that faith is not a cause of justification, but rather a means of personal appropriation of the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ on the cross. A very pathetic figure. |

GJ - As someone just wrote to me on Facebook, "It sounds like you are getting to McCain."
I enclosed Bethany Lutheran Church in quotation marks and got over 200,000 returns on Google, suggesting that Lutherans name their congregation after the Biblical city.
KJV John 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
That may be new information for McCain, who stayed on the Ft. Wayne campus several years after his MDiv and yet managed not to earn an advanced degree. Moreover, he spent most of his career with synod sinecures, where he might have earned a degree at Our Lady of Sorrows, or at least finished at The Surrendered Fort. But he did neither one.
Tim Glende tried the same approach as Paul McCain, using my departed daughters' illness against me. He erased the entire anonymous blog soon after.
Pope Paul the Unlearned is famous for demanding apologies. Ironic? He is so easily offended, even by helpful comments from friendly people.
I promise to identify every scoundrel and low-life who tries this approach with my daughters. I will quote them and refute them, holding them up to the public shame they never seem to feel in their own actions and words.

K. F. Peters has left a new comment on your post "Nastiness, Sarcasm, and IgnoranceAmong the LutherQ...":
I was friends with Paul McCain on Facebook until I left the comment that it was much easier to dismiss Jackson as insane than to respond to his accusations.
Paul saw fit to terminate our Facebook friendship.
Pity, I'll miss his insightful posts about his haircut.
