They called their book publishing operation Clayton Publishing House, so it was another CPH. Apostates enjoy being copycats.


Seminex was "the real Concordia" and they called it "Concordia Seminary in Exile" with an elaborate publicity campaign backed by the public media.


The Wisconsin Synod's Richard Jungkuntz was one of their martyrs. When he was found out at Northwestern College (by accident), he became a professor at the Springfield LCMS Seminary (now at Ft. Wayne). He was an obvious apostate, so they created a paying job for him as the head of the Board of Doctrine.


Jungkuntz chaired the Seminex board of directors, and Seminex became the official seminary of the Metropolitan Community Church, the first all-homosexual denomination.


Another apostate, Carl Braaten, complained that the Seminex professors took over LSTC, wrecked the finances, and spoiled the school. Lie down with dawgs, git up with fleas.



Richard Jungkuntz, UOJ fanatic.
His UOJ essay is preserved in the Holy of Holies, the WELS Essay Files.
