I like President Schroeder. I got to meet him when he visited our parish a few years back (shortly after his election). Having said that, I disagree that he has "set the WELS counterculture agenda for Lutheranism." WELS has some very serious issues in precisely the area Pastor Cascione references -- the whole "praise-band hootenanny" thing. And President Schroeder, while I think a lot of him, has not really done anything to stem that tide at all. WELS doesn't have the issues the LCMS has in that regard, that is true. But they are not immune to it, either -- it's there.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
