Murdoch owns Zondervan, and Zondervan owns the old NIV and the New NIV - also called the HIV Translation.
The New NIV butchers the meaning of the Bible more consistently than all other modern translations.
The Wisconsin Sect will vote on it at the convention. I am betting there will be only token opposition.
They excommunicated pastors for favoring the KJV over the NIV when the union translation was first promoted. WWGD? What Would Gausewitz Decide? He used the KJV.
Who worked on the old NIV and benefited from it? Oh yes - John Jeske, father of Mark and Avoid Jeske.
There is a resolution against Mark and Avoid Jeske. That will not pass. His family tree will be projected on a screen and people will bow, weeping with contrition.
No wait - he will show his list of financial supporters and Doctrinal Pussycats will weep with contrition.
PS - Not that it matters, since WELS will accept any old garbage from the Arminians - Murdoch is behind Obama and is now in trouble for spying on people, hacking into their private data. Murdoch's son is in the most trouble, but he reflects the bad parenting skills of his father. Sound familiar? Just another co-inky-dink.
David Valleskey learned false doctrine from his unionistic, Pietistic father. WELS glorified the daddy and let the son promote Fuller doctrine his entire career.
Valleskey, Jeske, and Kelm are God's punishment against WELS for doctrinal apostasy.

AC V has left a new comment on your post "The Age of Apostasy Means that LINO Lutherans Are ...":
...never heard of UOJ before seminary.
To that end, at the Sausage Factory future WELS pastors heard re NIV Romans 5:1: "The comma should have been put after the word 'justified' so that it reads, 'Therefore, since we have been justified, through faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.'"
