The Church Growth Movement Has Done Its Magic! Seminary Graduates Are Fewer and Fewer. But Look at Their Beautiful Empty Buildings! And Their Trojans - Trojan Horses

Two LCMS Seminaries - 92 Calls Total!

This past week  Concordia Seminary, St. Louis issued Calls to 59 Pastoral Candidates.

Also Concordia Seminary, Ft. Wayne issued Calls to 33 Pastoral Candidates.    

This makes a total of 92 Pastoral Candidates available to parishes in the LCMS in the Spring of 2021. As one ELDONUT pastor said, "There's Ft. Wayne and the other one."

The Same Schools Next Year - Maybe 70 Calls Total?

Concordia Seminary, St. Louis assigned 38 seminarians for vicarage and Concordia Seminary.

Ft Wayne assigned 32 seminarians for vicarage.  

This makes a total of 70 vicars available this year to LCMS parishes.

I contend that the Church Growth Movement in LCMS-WELS-ELS has nothing to do with increasing numbers or saving souls. It continues to be nothing more than Trojan Horses to infiltrate Objective Justification, Universalism, Calvinism, and Unionism into their inbred sects.

The Roman Catholics are just as keen about Church Growth as the deceiving, lupine Protestants are. They are equally successful in advancing what is wrong by anyone's standards.

Three things prove my case:

1. Church vocations are collapsing in all of the church bodies, mainline, Lutheran "conservative," and Roman Catholic.

2. Numbers in worship have become catastrophic, and mask removal will make little difference.

3. The ELCA-hugging, priest wannabees on the ALPB Online Forum address the problems with sociology, marketing, and peeking into other denominations' numbers. 

When He comes, the Holy Spirit will convict the world of resisting change and bad numbers? That is the part in the movie where we walked in - odd couple Waldo Werning and Kent Hunter screaming that everyone had to graph their church numbers and fix the problem!

 "Porkers! Everyone meet at Fuller Seminary to prevent losses and increase money and members. Holy Mother Thrivent will pay part of it! Fuller is failing too? Willow Creek has blown up? Let's go to the Crystal Cathedral? What? It is Catholic? OK, OK, HerChurch - they are on the cutting edge. Sorry, that was insensitive, a bad pun, if you ever lost someone to bacon or pulled pork."
