Martin Luther College is so ashamed of their Evangelism Day speakers that they hid the list from the public. I did learn that Randy Hunter was among the Church and Changers invites to mislead another batch of kids.
Someone just mailed me a copy of the Wisconsin Lutheran College leadership event. Hunter is on the top of the bill as a speak, along with "a key lay leader."
This is cause for discipline at MLC, even though the leaders read it. Discipline is not being billed as subtle encouragement. "Flogging will continue until everyone is sufficiently encouraged." |
Hunter is justly famous for opening and closing the Latte Church, where his image was broadcast to a screen surrounded by couches, enhanced with espresso served to keep the audience awake. A praise band was stationed nearby to keep the service relevant.
Randy even had a young lady hired to "administer the Means of Grace," her own statement. And yet, that emergent church fell heavily to the ground, closed by the Hunter Himself, due to staff exhaustion and perhaps a lack of additional grant money. Nothing exhausts the staff faster than exhausting the money.
WELS staff remind me of Taco Bell employees - the more they have on duty, the less they work.
Peter Pan is also a speaker at this event, which starts in May. His full name is Peter Panitzke. He was a reliable Enthusiast on the Church and Change websty. He will teach everyone about Pietistic cell groups. I wonder why SP Mark Schroeder and the usual suspects never discipline the cell group fanatics. They are Lutheran in faith or practice.
Some other speakers are David Scharf, Jason Ewart, and Jonathan Schroeder of Sharpsburg, Georgia.
Nothing is mentioned about relying on the Word of God or trusting in the Means of Grace. Do you want a grant from Thrivent-WELS or not, you impertinent pastor?
