For well over 100 years at my former WELS congregation, many of the laity were farmers. They had an honest business sense, especially in the congregational operations. As the number of nearby cash crop farms declined, the area began morphing into a bit of exurban. Those embracing the corporate business model began replacing the farmers and blue collar worker who formerly were in positions on the boards and council. Our family was a member there for 30 years. We asked for some reasonable accommodations for our special needs son in the LES. The Board of Education gave us a serious case of cognitive dissonance in the manner in which it was mishandled. Naturally, since they are in authority, they are infallible. This was a different type of board member than what we had ever encountered before with our four other children.

GJ - I think they were getting even with you for posting on Ichabod. WELS is especially petty and vindictive.
For those who wonder about the headline - StPeterCares and StPaulCares are URLs for two Shrinker parishes in WELS. Glende grew up in one and haunts the other.
