| Formerly, the associate dean of diversity (not kidding here) Latini, a Presbyterian minister, is now president of the combined seminaries. Gettysburg started with the Presby-Lutheran unionist S. S. Schmucker. Philadelphia began as a protest against the Presby-Lutheran unionists and the 19th century Church Growth Movement. All are one again. |

History - United Lutheran Seminary:
"A Start in Gettysburg . . .
At the meeting of the Maryland and Virginia Synod at Hagerstown, MD in 1825, a committee was appointed “to report a plan for the immediate organization of a theological seminary.” Two weeks later the full (Lutheran) General Synod confirmed the action, noting that $10,000 had already been collected for the proposed school to prepare ministers of the Gospel. And the Synod’s convention went on to elect Samuel Simon Schmucker as the Seminary’s first professor, directing him to draft a constitution and prepare to open the fledgling “school of the prophets.”"

GJ - Sigh. Where to start? We do not need any more proof that evil fruit comes from corrupt trees. It cannot be otherwise. No one is foolish enough to place a ladder against a nuisance tree and gather its prolific but useless produce. However, in the name of diversity, the mainlines - including WELS-LCMS - do that very thing.
As Luther said, Jesus ended His Sermon on the Mount with a warning against false teachers:
Matthew 7 -
5 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
One result of the Snowbird Conference, sponsored by the predatory insurance companies, was their diversity project including ELCA-WELS-LCMS-ELS. The Lutheran (LCA) wrote all about it, but the WELS journal of deception evaded the truth. I asked Otten to run The Lutheran's article and much fun ensued.
After a few issues of the insurance magazines came out on the ELCA-LCMS-WELS lovefest, the insurance magazines stopped covering the joint ministries, which began long ago and continue to this day. As one WELS DP said, "If we don't spend the money, someone else will." There you have it - The Gospel of Loot.
Decades later, more fake diversity is evident, and Lutheran seminaries are sinking faster than the FBI's credibility. I pity the person steps in the way of the diversity juggernaut. The new in charge are the new Conans, who drive their enemies before them, to enjoy the "crying of the children, and the veeping of the vimin," as Arnold Schwartzeneggar said so memorably.
The various synods are now the UniSynod, one big miserable dysfunctional, united by unbelief, shaking their heads about the obstinacy of the others.
