WELS DP Jon Buchholz' Epic Fail

After promising the congregation that the district would continue to discuss justification,
Buchholz excommunicated the pastor
and solemnly declared his latest version of UOJ ex cathedra
at the district convention.
A WELS member asked me how to support Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Here is the link, which includes a PayPal connection. You do not have be a PayPal member to give through PayPal.

The address for the church is:

Emmanuel Lutheran Church
4675 Bataan Memorial W
Las Cruces, NM 88012

The WELS know they have two chances of getting their church back--first by getting rid of the pastor, and second, by foreclosing within months of the congregation retaining a pastor newly shunned by the WELS. Glad to see the WELS failed twice over!

This is joyous news to hear; yet disappointing that a "Christian" denomination such as WELS would be so unloving; - not only so obviously intolerantly unloving, but acting in such a carnal way, throwing around its financial and structural weight.

Also, this wonderful outcome for Pastor Rydecki's congregation is demonstrable evidence that the good and gracious Lord blesses people and stands in the gap to prevent organizational machinery from witching it over His redeemed.
