I suggest looking over the profiles on the Thrivent Insurance board and figuring out how many members are ELCA. Quite a few. Some are Missouri, I imagine. Mark Jeske is nominal WELS.
Thrivent is a major source for funds in the ELCA, WELS, and LCMS. I am not sure of the smaller groups, but the money spent is a good investment for Thrivent. Why? Thrivent gives money in exchange for publicity, constant mention in bulletins and periodicals, and access to membership lists.
Your synodical "Planned Giving Counselor" is an insurance agent, paid by Thrivent and also paid a commission to sell insurance products. Isn't it sweet when Thrivent donates money to send "Planned Giving Counselors" to your church? How charitable, to give a pittance in exchange for grabbing an estate or two.
Thrivent gives money to congregations like Parlow's WELS-Willowcreek operation.
Thrivent gives money to Leftist causes like Lutherans Concerned in North America. That particular lobby was instrumental in approving homosexual ordination in ELCA in 2009.

| Daddy Jeske gave WELS the NIV. Brother Tom is promoting the NNIV. Mark Jeske is on the Thrivent board and exhorting the church: "Change or Die!" |
Thrivent is behind the latest Change or Die! conference, managed by Thrivent board member Mark Jeske, and hosted by a Thrivent Insurance saleswoman.
Thrivent is giving a fortune for Habitat for Humanity, so it is no longer a "Lutheran" fraternal benefits society, plowing the money back into Lutheran congregations and causes.
Thrivent gave some WELSians money for a milk program run by the Salvation Army, Fox Valley, so any religion in a good religion for Thrivent.
Thrivent has the money and doles it out according to its Leftist, pan-religious, pro-abortion, gay-friendly agenda.
Those who have their little Thrivent chapters, as so many do, making a little money on the side, and get their little Thrivent matching funds, and hail the grants given their favorite causes - you are all working with ELCA and helping their agenda.
Anything said about LCMS or WELS being "conservative" is PR. The money men know it.

| Goodsoil, ELCA. Megan is second from the right. Thrivent made it happen. Change or Die! |
 |
| Megan got confetti and a magic wand wave for his installation at HerChurch. Thank you, Thrivent Insurance. Change or Die! |
 |
| GoodSoil at the ELCA convention. They have a much better chance for a Thrivent grant than a humble congregation in Mushroom Flats, Kansas. LCNA has matching money from Thrivent: that is why they are all smiling. |
Megan can be seen in the large group photo above, third row the middle. Above him is Anita Hill, whose ordination by Mark Hanson helped propel Hanson into the job of ELCA Presiding Bishop.
 |
| HerChurch was once the mother church for all Augustana congregations in the West. Thrivent Financial is there to support their ministry. Change or Die! |
 |
| Pastor Anita Hill's ordination was a turning point for Lutherdom and for future Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson. Anita is another happy, smiling Thrivent supporter. |
 |
| ELCA apologized and re-instated these ministers. Change or Die! |
