2002 Thrivent three-synod support:
Thrivent regularly donates large sums of money directly to Lutheran synods, as well as to their colleges, seminaries, and elementary schools. It often provides "matching funds" for local congregational fundraising efforts. In 2002,
- WELS received $7.8 million in grants and matching funds from Thrivent.
- The LCMS received $41.9 million that year,
- and the ELCA received $46.4 million.
- Another $2.1 million went to "Inter-Lutheran and Independent Causes."
Willow Creek Pastor, Andy Stanley Follower John Parlow was in this issue of the Thrivent magazine.
The CLC (sic) does not admit this, but they have congregations involved in Thrivent, too. They play the same game as their big sisters - denouncing what they do themselves. And that tiny fragment of legalism and corruption punishes people who point out that fact, such as Pastor Wehrwein being removed (on the spot) during a meeting about this particular issue, because Immanual in Mankato was loud and proud about their Thrivent participation.
I estimate that WELS, LCMS, ELS, and CLC (sic) members contribute heavily toward the $100 million a year that ELCA receives currently from Thrivent. That figure could be higher or lower. Exact numbers can be obtained from Thrivent in Appleton, where the Fox Valley WELS congregations embarrass all Christians.

New World Order’s United Religions Initiative is supported by Thrivent and all Lutheran Synods.
Bishop William Swing wants a U.N. for religions
At 74, William Swing, born and reared in Huntington, W.Va., is hardly letting up. His latest endeavor is nothing less than uniting the religions of the world.
"I said, 'Sure,' and went to bed that night thinking the nations of the world have met every day for 50 years, yet the religions of the world have not spoken. So I figured if there is a United Nations, there has to be a United Religions."
Charles Gibbs, an Episcopal priest who serves as the initiative's executive director, said, "Even though I was born and raised in the Episcopal Church, I never believed Christianity was the only answer. Religions do a lot of good, and evoke the absolute best in people. But extremism happens when religions claim to have the unique path to the Ultimate."

The United Nations worships Satan as their god – the god of this world. Those who work with the UN worship the same god.
