| The top two leaders of ELCA. Listen up! |
How the LCMS-ELS-WELS smacked their lips! - at the thought of ELCA members cascading off the sinking ship like ants leaving the logs on a bonfire. That was 1987.
But all the LCMS-ELS-WELS did was copy the follies of ELCA:
LCMS published a new hymnal.
WELS published a new hymnal.
The ELS published a new hymnal. -
Remember when all three had the same hymnal? And it still beats them hands down.

| ELCA pastor and lecturer, Bolz-Weber. |
LCMS pursued Fuller Seminary degrees and boasted.
WELS pursued Fuller Seminary degrees and boasted.
The ELS did more of the same, but quietly.
LCMS worked with ELCA and their Brunhildas.
WELS worked with ELCA and their Brunhildas.
The ELS quietly did the same.
LCMS used the wretched NIV and bragged about using the ESV!
WELS stuck with the horrible NIV and its even worse successor - the New NIV!
The ELS feigned conservatism with some use of the New KJV.
LCMS abandoned the liturgy, creeds, and the KJV.
WELS abandoned the liturgy, creeds, and the KJV.
The ELS marched quietly in step with Big Brother.

| Retired. |
 |
| Retired and tired. |
Could that be why the Synodical Conference, 21st Century, has failed as miserably as ELCA?
Would that explain WELS adding 25 contemptible Calvinist hymns to their pricey new hymnal?
Does this mean the ELS will collapse even faster?
