Look at the Videos Below - WELS Has Already Merged with ELCA



Mark and Avoid Jeske morphed from Church and Change to Change or Die! - while under the watchful eye of Mirthless Mark Schroeder, the Reforming Synod President.

Jeske would rather be the main speaker every year, but he has given the same speech for 30 years. Even the comatose grow tired of him. So he has done something better - or worse. With the Siebert Foundation and Thrivent he has organized the Change or Die! conferences. These conferences do not merely promote the false teachers of WELS, but their counterparts in the LCMS and ELCA as well.

They know how uncurious the WELS clergy and laity are, so they put the worst of their stars on YouTube for everyone to watch. Take notes, because there is so much to learn.





One ELCA pastor - who spoke for Die! - said she was told by Louise Johnson, now president of the other Loehe seminary in America, Wartburg, that she must become a pastor. She told Louise, "Get behind me, Satan!" and everyone at the Die! conference had a jolly laugh.

Must watch YouTube - Robin Steinke's funeral-like installation service as the first woman president of Luther Seminary, the largest shrinking Lutheran seminary in North America.




The timid, frightened WELS clergy are afraid to do the research and deal with the path of destruction they are on.



United Lutheran Seminary has named the Rev. Dr. Theresa F. Latini as the first president to lead the unified seminary with campuses at Gettysburg and Philadelphia

President-elect Latini will officially begin July 1, 2017, which is also the inaugural date of United Lutheran Seminary (ULS), a consolidation of two historic Lutheran Seminaries in Gettysburg and Philadelphia. ULS is the oldest seminary of the 3.8 million-member Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), dating to 1826.

 Latini - President of Gettysburg/Philadelphia Seminary.
Philly is where Krauth and Schmauk taught.
I was interviewed at Philly, but it was really a fake
HEW-inspired interview, one of ten interviews to hide the fact that
they already had their hire picked out.


Latini comes to the presidency with extensive experience in theological education as an educator and administrator. She has written two books and many articles on topics such as Christian vocation, congregational leadership, and racial reconciliation. She previously served as the George C. Weinman Chair of Pastoral Theology and Ministry at Luther Seminary and continues to advise students in Luther’s PhD program. Currently, Latini is associate dean of diversity and cultural competency and professor of practical theology and pastoral care at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan. She has expertise in conflict mediation and has consulted with congregations and judicatories throughout the United States.

Latini will lead the new theological school, whose roots run deep in Lutheran identity in America and broadly across historically ecumenical Christian commitments. “I am honored and humbled to be called to serve as the first president of United Lutheran Seminary. Grounded in the promises of God, this bold and innovative union of two historic Lutheran institutions will enable us to educate and empower public Christian leaders for confessionally rooted, ecumenically connected, and interculturally competent ministry in the twenty-first century. I look forward to co-laboring with students, staff, and faculty at ULS and with colleagues throughout the ELCA as together we join God’s work of healing, justice, and reconciliation.”



An ordained minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA), Latini’s background includes pastoral positions in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Levittown, Pennsylvania. She received both her MDiv and PhD from Princeton Theological Seminary. PCUSA has been a full communion partner of the ELCA since 1997. Full communion partners share a commitment to interchange of clergy and an official recognition of agreement in essential doctrines and sacramental understanding.

Thus WELS has returned to its tangled roots of union with the Calvinists. By joining with ELCA in so many religious ventures, WELS has signaled that they are one with Liz Eaton and her Amazons (and I don't mean retail).

Paul Calvin Kelm got away with his Calvinistic rationalism, regurgitated from Fuller Seminary, Concordia St. Louis (DMin!!), Willow Creek, Trinity Divinity. Now they are One Flock, with One Princess of Darkness guiding them, funded by pro-abortion Thrivent.
