Dave Kehl is no longer employed at The Love Shack. I heard he was going to Atonement. He was recently listed as having the new Adult/Youth discipleship call, so I am confused. Corrections are welcome.
Kehl was connected with the expensive Airport meeting, an orgy of Shrinker ideology. I wanted to back up my facts, as I always do, but that link on the WELS.net site is gone.
The WELS AnswerMan is being replaced. That was my favorite springboard before WELS elected SP Schroeder and ruined the fun. AnswerMan was known for ridiculous responses and bad spelling.
Some DPs wanted AnswerMan banished earlier, but the State of Wisconsin DPs wanted the feature kept. You are wondering why, so I will tell you. AnswerMan favored the Shrinkers, so the Big Three liked having a backdoor response that countered sound Lutheran doctrine and practice.
AnswerMan came across as official WELS doctrine, so a Shrinker pastor could whip out the favorable responses and say, "Holy Mother WELS has spoken. Nyahh."
My intuition is that Father Hollywood's Girls Gone Wild column was the last straw.
One Shrinker is endlessly offended that Father Hollywood alluded to Monty Python, although the Shrinker seems to know his Python much better than most people. But the same person was not offended by women pretending to be pastors. Father Hollywood was appalled by the lame excuses posted by AnswerMan.
As the golden sun sinks slowly into White Fish Bay, we bid a fond adieu to AnswerMan, source of mirth and befuddlement.

Palace intrigue at the Love Shack continues unabated. The AnswerMan never could reign (sic) it in with his official WELS doctrine.

According to the latest call report, Dave Kehl accepted the call to Atonement and returned the call to serve as Adult/Youth Discipleship coordinator.

GJ - Kehl was deep into the Shrinker agenda. I will not quote another source, who said...
Not gonna do it.
