Statistical Count - New Issue of Calvinist News Shape-Shifter Father Steve Spencer

WELS Pastor Steve Spencer fashions himself as Father Spencer, a title CN hid a bit. Steve said that Justification by Faith was "not a hill he would die on." Nor did he.

Word-count for the current Christian News:

Justification by Faith - Never mentioned
Chief Article - Never mentioned (WAM cover - buy that)
Means of Grace - Never mentioned
Efficacy of the Word - Never mentioned

Who Knew?

Spencer wrote and talked to me for many years. I do not recall his undying friendship with Herman Otten coming up. The eulogy suggests he was one of the handlers who helped suppress WELS news and felonies. Daring journalism indeed!

Father Spencer started the Orthodox Lutheran newsletter and quit.

He started the oddly-named Intrepid Lutherans and was the first to bail out, claiming it no longer served any purpose. That was when the members studied Objective Justification and found it. wanting.

Steve should have joined ELDONA so we would never hear from him again.

WELS-ELS-LCMS legacy - guarded by journalism.
