ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Rev. Brunhilda Sings, "It is over, Walther."
bruce-church (http://bruce-church.myopenid.com/) has left a new comment on your post "Catholics and Greek Orthodox Give Better Education...":
Thanks for the comment Narrow-minded.
I propose that the pastoral ministry and financial situation of the LCMS seminaries, and synod, is so bad, and the funding priorities are so far off course in the LCMS, that the fat lady has sung for Walther's non-hierarchical church and ministry model. It's over. Finished. Kaput. It seems without a decently robust hierarchy, it's every congregation for itself, and the non-hierarchical synod has proven to be a sad joke on many levels, including discipline.
