WELS missionaries are coming home jobless and homeless in a bad economy, where calls were rare even before the mortgage meltdown. They have to share parsonages or homes with friends and relatives.
Meanwhile, congregations are shedding pastors and teachers.
WELS had to take $8 million from the budget, but the latest word is another shortage of $1 to 1.5 million.
The Shrinkers of the Gurgel-Mueller regime took the largest charitable gift in history and turned it into synodical bankruptcy.
And where did this genius SP Gurgel go - the man who dissolved the MilCraft estate and blew the Schwan fortune? He is working for Kudu Don Patterson, of course, conveniently on the staff so he can lobby as an active pastor instead of silencing himself as a failed SP.
