Divine Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church:
Divine Savior disaffiliates from WELS - ministry continues
4/27/2012
At their meeting on April 26th the voters of Divine Savior decided to disaffiliate from the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. We are now an independent Lutheran congregation. The voters also decided to seek out a Lutheran synod that teaches according to Article II of our church constitution (Click here for a copy).
This was a solemn decision which the voters prayerfully considered after discussing the issues in Bible classes and open forums. One of the open forums even included hearing from the WELS Southeastern Wisconsin District President, the 1st Vice President of the Southeastern Wisconsin District who also holds the office of 1st Vice President of the WELS, and our circuit pastor.
We are thankful to God that the Holy Spirit granted us a spirit of Christian love and orderliness during this process. God is still with us through His powerful and comforting Word and Sacrament. We need Him every day and His promise still stands: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Join us this Sunday as we come together to our Savior for the spiritual rest we all need. We will hear His Word preached and receive His Word visibly in the Sacrament. And He will give us rest. The service is at 10:30. All are welcome!

Article II of the church Constitution states: Section 2
This congregation accepts and confesses all the symbolical books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church contained in the Book of Concord of 1580 as true statements of scriptural doctrine.
Section 4
Hence, no doctrine shall be taught or tolerated in this congregation which is in any way at variance with these symbolical books and the Holy Scriptures.
Is there clarification publicly available which details the specific Synodical error which caused this church to separate?
Pastor Schulz had some faithful things to say in this Intrepid Lutheran blog post: http://www.intrepidlutherans.com/2012/02/whole-flock-wont-survive-jumping-shark.html

Pastor James Schulz!(aka an icha-trepid) His commentary on Intrepid Lutherans is a fine example of what other WELS pastors should be echoing. He will be missed! I would rather see the money changers leave, but as in Biblical times, the money changers will have to be ran out of the temple.
Oh and one more thing...this message is for Mark Jeske; please send this over the wire. A plea to Rev. Mark Jeske: As they say at the customs counter,"Do you have anything to declare?" I will give you two weeks and two days to cut your loses with Ebele.(you heard me 2 weeks and 2 days!) In the mean time you may want to start cleaning the church growth houses quick, fast, and in a hurry. This is a loving warning, please understand. I WILL go public reguarding Boettcher and Trinklein, the BIG HUGE LIES, and everything. I will let the Kat(hint) out of the bag!
May God bless Pastor Schulz's congregation.

GJ - I am confused about synodical power. I read that WELS dispatched, James Huebner First VP of WELS, to the congregation, along with two others. I thought SP Schroeder was powerless to do anything. And then - BOOM! - the Fuller Seminary false teacher rushes down to Indiana - not exactly next door to Grace Lutheran Church in Milwaukee.

WELS parishioners understand individual congregations like a McDonald's franchise. They don't understand that each congregation *chooses* to affiliate with WELS. So when a congregation leaves they act like they stole from the WELS.
There is a huge lack of understanding of Word and Sacrament ministry and Christ's presence in the local parish. Although, there is a great understanding of each parish as a business owned and operated by the WELS.
