The Missouri Synod is completing its 100% Objective Justification saturation, perhaps in the hopes of a merger with WELS having a positive effect on its numbers. Readers may recall that a failing AAL merged with Lutheran Brotherhood to form AAL and hide the bad news.
The LCMS-ELS-WELS seminaries used their Schwan loot to build and remodel seminary buildings, a great leap backwards as enrollments sank and online classes became more practical for working adults.
When the liberal ALPB discussed the future seminary president, they addressed every possible sociological angle -
- Aging population
- Different needs
- Getting along together.
But they missed all the doctrinal issues, mainly their rejection of the Chief Article - Justification by Faith, their use of Calvinist Universalist Bibles, and their shameless copying of Fuller Seminary's box of gimmicks.
