I enjoyed this comment - a WELS student never heard of Fuller or Leonard Sweet until he read this blog. Innocent? Just fell off the beet wagon on the way to the farmer's market? Hard to tell.
Church and Change, heartily and merrily endorsed by WELS, sponsored Leonard Sweet. The Church and Change convention is advertized on the WELS website. I doubt whether the Issues in WELS group has the same free PR from The Love Shack.
Leonard Sweet was the author just read by Pastor Rick at Corona, California. Anyone could read that on his blog...until he wiped out the evidence. The other favorite book just read was by Willow Creek guru Hybels.
Never heard of Fuller Seminary? Lawrence Otto Olson received his D.Min. from Fuller, a fact announced in the faculty biographies at Martin Luther College.
Pleading ignorance is a logical fallacy, one worn out by WELS. "I never heard of that" is not exact proof of its non-existence or lack of influence.
Perhaps someone so devoted to writing anonymous posts should read the cascade of verbatim quotations from WELS sources, posted without cost on Ichabod, your one-stop shopping guide for Lutheran information.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
