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:

GJ - Sure, Paul McCain was going to let Cascione and Otten occupy Our Lady of Sorrows Seminary in Clayton and get the Bronzies all pumped up. That will happen right after McCain outgrows his gun fetish.
I remember Bishop Sauer dealing with a group of German ethnic pastors. The "interest group" - as it was called - was entitled to meet and have their officers. They arranged a meeting when Ken Sauer was the LCA bishop in Ohio. He said he could not find the meeting place. That is even better than "I forgot" or Doug Englebrecht ducking a meeting and leaving a letter. How can someone say, "But you did know how to get there."
The Germans were pretty upset and mailed out a letter about it. Perhaps five people read it.
One reader was correct. Almost no one cares about Walther. The vast majority will never read anything about him, so the mythological lies will continue. His methods of grabbing power and bullying others will continue to be emulated by his descendants.
