Assignment day at Mequon - $100,000 a year salary - so Glende destroyed the congregation and left. |
Polluted WELS is hosting some debates about pastoral calls in WELS, including Assignment Day, when the new graduates are assigned to congregations. Later they become free agents.
The District Presidents control the calls, aided by various relatives in the system. The assignments are normally the ones without enough money to call free agents. However, Tim Glende, vicar to Mark-and-Avoid Jeske, nephew of John Brug, received $100,000 a year - right out of Mequon.
The next time everyone is asked to cough up for Holy Mother WELS, consider the millions wasted on synodical pets and their absurd projects, like moving away from a campus location to rent worship space - just to build a debt-loaded building that would ultimately close the parish for good.
Parlow, Jeske, Kelm, and Patterson are all in the Church and Change kick-line. Join them or experience the Left Foot of Fellowship. |
