I like those old newreels of land speed records being set on the Bonneville flats. At first, the speeding car is just a dot off in the distance. Then, all the sudden, it's tearing right on by. Then it's gone.
That reminds me of the current NNIV discussion within the WELS.
Translation committee members talked for maybe a three quarters of an hour at post-Easter pastoral conferences. Some articles were written in FIC. Now, onwards to adoption.
That didn't take long.
Pastors with even a shred of experience know it is wise to let people talk important matters out by allowing them time to express themselves. Common sense dicates that ought to be a matter of courtesy.
Manners, apparently, are dead as well as even more vital considerations.
