AC V has left a new comment on your post "Two Birthdays To Note: Martin Luther and Martin Ch...":
Quote of the day:
Martin Luther held that it was "not at all in conformity with the New Testament to write books about Christian doctrine." He noted that before the Apostles wrote books, they "previously preached to and converted the people with the physical voice, which was also their real apostolic and New Testament work."[4] To Luther, it was necessary to write books to counter all the false teachers and errors of the present day, but writing books on Christian teaching came at a price. "But since it became necessary to write books, there is already a great loss, and there is uncertainty as to what is meant."[5] Martin Luther taught preaching and lectured upon the books of the Bible in an exegetical manner. To Luther, St. Paul was the greatest of all systematic theologians, and his Epistle to the Romans was the greatest dogmatics textbook of all time.[1]

The Walther Conference at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, has been cancelled, the second time this has occurred. It was cancelled after Herman Otten sent an outline of his speech to the synod hierarchy detailing what he thought Walther would have done if he were in leadership today. It was too much for them to bear, apparently.
Several years ago, SP Kieschnick had the Walther conference cancelled at St. Louis seminary specifically because many of the participants and attendees had sued the LCMS and Kieschnick over his election fraud. This occurred despite the out-of-court settlement that Kieschnick signed saying he would not retaliate against the whistle blowers. Then subsequently he violated the agreement again when he approved 114 or so delegate exceptions mostly from the liberal east coast portion of the LCMS, thereby securing his re-election, just as he had done three years before, the very action that brought on the lawsuit. After Kieschnick got away with that scot-free both times, the lawyer Doggert, or whatever his name was, resigned from the Lutheran Foundation, since Kieschnick showed he could act with impunity despite any legal process mounted against him:
