Thrivent is no longer a Lutheran company, but it owns and manages ELCA, WELS, LCMS, and the ELS. Whose agenda is followed? ELCA's pan-religious, pan-sexual agenda. |
The third Change or Die! conference, headed by Mark Jeske (WELS-LCMS) is over. I heard from one pastor:
Randy Hunter has dropped out – or was pushed – from participating in Change and Die. Mark Jeske has replaced him with (cue fanfare) Mr. Bruce Becker, former WELS pastor and synod administrator.
“I’m shocked – shocked – that heresy is going on here!” “Sir, here’s your false doctrine.” “Oh, thank you very much.”
Replacing Randy Hunter with Bruce Becker is like substituting a rat for a mouse. At least mice are cute and do less damage. Becker has been one of the architects of Church and Change - while enjoying a royal salary at The Love Shack.
Now that Jeske--the media hero for WELS and Missouri, approved and coddled by both--has had his third ministry conference with ELCA, we all know the confessional stance of SPs Harrison and Schroeder: none.
No. |

Febreze has left a new comment on your post "Bruce Becker Replaced Randy Hunter at Mark Jeske's...":
I tried to post something along the lines of this on Intrepid Lutherans (only this comment was more thought out):
Hunter left the conference for one of two reasons (from my limited point of view).
1) He felt compelled by his own or
2) the CoP told/encouraged him to.
If it was situation number 1 I don't know why he would feel he would get in trouble seeing as Jeske has been able to participate (actually, he is able to lead it if I'm not mistaken) all these times without any repercussion. Jeske is still a WELS pastor in good standing. If it were number 2 the same thing still applies.
It troubles me to see faithful, orthodox pastors be shunned and given the cold shoulder while these types are promoted and defended in the WELS. Something needs to change and it's not the Liturgy.
