Holes in the Boat - Caulking Will Not Help

Do pastors have to offer live bunny rabbits, so people come to their Easter services in a graveyard? Calvinist Church Growthers think that is necessary to sell the Gospel.



Patterson and Doebler - the future professor for the Asian mini-seminary - promoted live bunnies at their Easter services. That is the typical result of Calvinist Church Growth thinking. The Calvinists are not sure when the Spirit visits the service, so they make the Word of God real, relevant, and relational.

Church and Change Patterson had Church and Change Doebler (DMin, Gordon Conwell) move to the Asian Seminary, so Ski - Church and Change board member - could be at Round Rock. The Asian seminary president was Church and Change founder John Lawrenz until he passed it onto Church and Change founder Steve Witte (Appleton, WI, Church and Change birthplace).


 The Church and Change conferences transitioned to Change or Die! - to include women pastors and ELCA - thanks to Mark Jeske, Prince of Perfidy.
