Mequon Prof. Jetski was one of the translators for the first NIV translation. So no doubt C&C has a big attachment to the NIV. Also, C&G wants to fend off the idea that the Jetski clan doesn't have the Sidam Touch where everything they touch goes heretical. See links below:

Sidam Touch:

The opposite of The Midas Touch, which turns everything to gold, The Sidam Touch breaks and or ruins everything.

I only caught the end of the discussion re. the Time of Grace memorial online, but I heard no dissenting votes; if there were any, they were few and quiet. The chairman of the committee that combined the two memorials into one quipped with relief that the difficult memorial was now done, which caused a nervous ripple of laughter among the delegates.

I guess we'll have to wait til the October COP meeting to once again hear that all the WELS is united in doctrine, and that the SEW district is "working to resolve things" with TOG, just in time for all of us to hold hands and celebrate "Walking Together" Sunday. Maybe instead of showing the WELS Connection after the service, we can view the new TOG episode so we can weep bitterly, rend our garments, and repent of our sin of questioning doctrine in WELS...
