What's going on in the (W)ELS? In January Jeff Gunn was listed on the (W)ELS M.O.G. Teen Rally website as a scheduled speaker. Following the Ichapost Jeff Gunn's name was replaced with a "?". Today, the "?" is replaced with Jeff Gunn's name. I thought DP Buchholz disapproved of Gunn's New Age Emergent church, practices and teachings! Yet Crosswalk talks about working together with Emmanuel, Tempe on their website, is listed as an active church in the (W)ELS directory and is teaching (W)ELS kids at the teen rally.

DP Buchholz' Emmanuel Lutheran Church Newsletter promoting the (W)ELS Teen Rally where Jeff Gunn is again scheduled to speak, and his emergent church band is scheduled to play for the (W)ELS children.

Conservatism in the (W)ELS is something akin to celibacy in the Roman Catholic Church.

GJ - That is why I hold convention actions in such low esteem. Instead of starting in their own bailey-wicks, these crusaders start at the bottom (the convention) to wage a fruitless battle in order to say, "We tried. Maybe next time."
The CLC (sic) president accused me of showing contempt for his sect's resolutions. Not so - I was doing my best to hide my contempt.
WELS caved on UOJ and Church Shrinkage, parish by parish, circuit by circuit, while Gausewitz was still being taught. That is the only way the battles can be won.
