The Class of 1982, The Sausage Factory, Mequon

Thirty years after graduating, the Class of 1982 has left an indelible bad impression on WELS. How did so many go bad?

  1. Jeff Gunn - the Emerging Church copycat with the atheist son.
  2. Paul Jahnke - the DP famous for getting rid of pastors (but not Church Growthers). 
  3. Joel Fredrich - the professor who caved on "making disciples," the favorite CG gloss on the Great Commission.
  4. Keith Free - Lavish BAM funder of Church and Change projects, like The CORE and Rick Johnson.
  5. James Mattek - mysterious role at WLCFS.
  6. Mark Freier - P-Boy! No longer WELS and never Lutheran, he got a grant to help out Parlow's non-Lutheran congregation.
  7. Bruce Becker - Church and Change board member and Perish Services salesman, now a Mark Jeske gofer. Or did he join the Church and Change staff at Wisconsin Lutheran College?
