Bishop Martin Stephan Forum Linked

I have linked the Bishop Martin Stephan Forum with the blog URLs. The Stephan book, which I have read, is quite illuminating about the origins of Missouri Lutherans. 

 

The Stephan migration was organized by a Halle Pietist, including his mistresses and two kidnapped children on the passenger list, but not Mrs. Stephan. She stayed home.

Here is an early account of the society's many scandals, which were not exactly a secret.
Synods are the product of their histories. The LCMS presents a fantasy as its history and denounces any factual accounts. For instance, the Stephan website is managed by a self-described lesbian. But the issue remains - is the material factual or not?

Here is an honesty test for Walther's heirs. Everyone should read the LCMS-ELS-WELS accounts of the current ELCA convention. Gape in awe as all three church bodies mourn the sad decline of ELCA, even though all three sects work with ELCA, pay ELCA money, and repeat ELCA's bromides about homosexuality.
