GJ - I am trying to figure this out. The Purple Palace is a congregation that issues calls to hire a Word and Sacrament pastor?


What Would Walther Say? 


SP Harrison accepted a token call to one a wealth surburb, to play to the Walther crowd.


And yet Paul McCain poses as a pastor, wearing an Oreo clergy collar and DP pectoral cross, even though he has been without a call for 20 years.


Why did Harrison not hand McCain the court chaplaincy job, to keep Paul away from the Internet for a few minutes each day?
