| How many 19th century figures funded a denomination with a series of felonies? The Great Walther is the only one I can recall. |
I am going over the draft of Wather, The American Calvin: A Synod Built on Felonies. That should be required reading at all seminaries.
Many will remain in complete denial, because the Missouri Myth Machine never stops cranking out more baloney about the past.
The LCMS archives are like the Sigmund Freud Archives, not there to enlighten but to hide the truth from researchers.
Nevertheless, the background material is freely available. I will have a list of resources to use to verify the main points. But it is really up to the individual to do the reading. The trouble with historical sources is the volume of reading necessary to keep track of the main players.
Readers are free to be in total denial, so they can furiously look up the facts or ask synod leaders. The District President would never lie to anyone, would he? - like the one who said, "If this goes to trial, it will cost us $10 million - and there goes the Siberian mission."

| The anniversary of Walther's birth was celebrated at the seminaries with solemnities normally reserved for Assumption Day. Walther was born without actual sin - I read that in many treatises devoted to masking the truth. |
