Rydecki's letter to the district presidium. This may help answer some speculation that I've read. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/201 2/10/letter-to-wels-district-president-jon.html |

Christian Schulz: If your link is authentic, Rev. Rydecki's letter has been received by every pastor in the Az-Ca district. The letter contains credible evidence that Rev. Rydecki denies the clear intent of AP, IV, 103. The letter also contains credible evidence that the WELS Az-Ca DP has been acting like a district pope and not like a true bishop of the Az-Ca district. The WELS Az-Ca DP's suspension of Rev. Rydecki is null and void. The Az-Ca district may now conduct a public trial of Rev. Rydecki on credible charges of false teaching. The Az-Ca district should proceed with the trial with or without the participation of Rev. Rydecki. The WELS Az-Ca DP's participation should be limited to submitting evidence. An unbiased judge should be appointed by the Az-Ca district to preside over the trial. All pastors and laymen of the district (including Emmanuel LC) must be invited (Matt. 18; LC, 8th Commandment). |
Daniel Gorman is correct about the Buchholz Mini-Papacy but wrong about the Apology. The graphic below shows the clear intent of the paragraph, which he cited above. I put the heading into this section of the Apology, to remind the obstinate and indolent that the headings describe the intent of the author - That We Obtain Remission of Sins by Faith Alone in Christ.
