That Rydecki's church was found to be in noncompliance on the CEF loan is not surprising. Recall that in the LCMS, Minnesota-South district terminated the Minneapolis campus ministry rental agreement simply because they had installed a dryer with vent so they could home dry-clean their altar vestments and eliminate dry cleaning bills. ("Dry cleaning at home" is why there are so few dry cleaners left in business, in addition to the more casual attire seen everywhere, even worn by clergy at altars and pulpits!)
Some name-withheld person told Rev. Jackson it was hard to believe the hammer could fall on Rev. Rydecki's church so fast, citing the time needed for due process. Well, I'm not surprised at all, since I've seen the hammer fall pretty fast in the WELS when someone pushes the right buttons, or has no political support. All it takes is a few phone calls. In the WELS and LCMS they are proud to say they'll "have your back," that is - unless something someone says or does is indefensible. Then they starting define "indefensible" downward.

GJ - The source knows of the vindictiveness and untrustworthiness of WELS leaders.

ULC and their unauthorized washer and dryer:

The only unauthorized “capital improvement” ULC has made, that we are aware of, was to install a washer and dryer for use by our janitors and altar guild. We did not consider this a capital improvement so did not seek permission.
