Pastor emeritus Nathan Bickel has left a new comment on your post "One Sane Voice on LutherQuest (sic)":
I like the Daniel Gorman (Heinrich) comment. He says in the last sentence:
>>>>>>......."The gospel does not permit DP to be lords over churches and to secretly remove their pastors from Christian fellowship." <<<<<<<
I ask:
"Since when did WELS or other church hierarchy ever allow the Gospel to interfere with their capricious, untoward and unloving actions?"
What happened to Pastor Rydecki is in keeping with 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Those who attempt [and do] please the Lord will be the ones hit upon by those who have no compunctions.

GJ - Several pastors told the previous Arizona-California DP to step down, and he did. Buchholz is even more heavy-handed than Jahnke was. The odd thing is - neither DP was heavy-handed about the Church and Changers.
