What about DP Patterson (WELS) taking a group to Exponential! - an omni-denominational round up of every Church Growth Enthusiast not under lock and key?
I was mulling over the fact of 99%+ of Lutherans being awash with everyone else's doctrine, but not Luther's, everyone else's official Bible, but not the King James Version, derived from Tyndale and Luther.
The Lutherans are so diverse that they are completely:
- Anti-Chief Article of Christianity
- Anti-Means of Grace, if they even understand it
- Anti-Efficacy of the Word, a puzzle to them.
- Anti-KJV and Majority Text.
- Listening to Big Lou, he is stupid, too.
The topics of inerrancy and inspiration are null and void when the Lutheran leaders
- Use the NIV, and pay to use
- The National Council of Church's RSV, NRSV, and ESV.
The reason that there is nothing but mush on the Lutheran blogs and websites is the harvesting of the diversity. The leaders are aware of each other's passion for smells-and-bells, Codex Sinaiticus, Calvinism, double-predestination, soul sleep, Unitarianism, Universalism, Arminianism, Romanism, and best of all - conservative-but irenicism.
