| James Huebner, like Paul Kelm and Larry Olson, studied at Fuller Seminary to be a WELS Church Growth consultant. So much for Lutheran orthodoxy, the Confessions, and honesty |
Rev. James Huebner was reelected for his second term as first vice president of WELS. The position is a four-year term during which Huebner will serve part time as first vice president and continue to also serve as pastor of Grace, Milwaukee, Wis.
During Tuesday’s morning session, convention delegates were invited to nominate parish pastors for this position. The top five nominees were placed on the ballot. In addition to Huebner, those nominees included Rev. Joel Jenswold, Rev. Jonathan Schroeder, Rev. Jonathan Stern, and Rev. Joel Voss.
Huebner addressed the delegates after the results of the election were announced. After sharing with delegates that he’d served as a convention page 44 years ago, Huebner noted, “In gratefulness to our Lord and in humble gratitude, I accept your nomination as first vice president of WELS.”
As first vice president, Huebner assists President Mark Schroeder and carries out assignments given to him by Schroeder. Huebner currently serves as the chairman of the Congregational Assessment and Planning Committee and Continuing Education for Called Workers Committee as well as an advisory member to the Commission on Congregational Counseling and the Commission on Inter-Church Relations. He also serves on the Conference of Presidents and as an ex-officio member of the Synodical Council. In case of a vacancy in the presidency, Huebner would serve as president until the next synod convention.

For discussion and discernment tonight - who is worse as First VP - Wayne Mueller or James Huebner?
Both of them are devoted to Church Growth and mocking the Confessions.
I call it a toss-up.
