As pointed here on Ichabod, a doctrinally discerning laity is a real blessing but is also a threat to SynConference leaders. They would much rather lead the members around with a ring in their nose, wasting their time with leadership workshops and conferences. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find doctrine seriously discussed anywhere, including the congregational level so called Bible studies. Most of these are just re-hashed how-to sessions that are cut and pasted from the Reformed camp. Even a serious look at Luther's Large Catechism would open up some eyes. The leaders certainly do not want that.
