A Threat from the DP?




WELS DP Seifert said about Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church in Powell, Ohio: "Requesting a Mequon graduate does not mean they will get one."

Those are strange words. The congregation was quite prosperous until they began running a non-denominational daycare center. Only 5 of the 50 pre-school students are members of the congregation. There are no higher grades.

The daycare center provides income for various people while draining the budget dry.

The congregation has called several men, and each one turned down the call. Oddly, before anyone was called, before he left the state, Jenswold said the congregation would probably have to call a new graduate.
