Years ago, Jeske was organizing joint ELCA-WELS-LCMS conferences, financed and approved by Thrivent and the Seibert Foundation. Everyone in the Big Five - ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) is part of the progress now being made. The only question is - "When will we have the Sparkle Creed included in our outmoded, not cool hymnal?" |
Protestia seems to watch carefully over the latest in ELCA disasters. I found its new link about an ELCA preaching conference a bit incoherent. The ambitious reader might want to check the Protestia link about Luther Seminary's connection.
The idea is to gather a whole bunch of talented, experienced, Biblical men for this task - and keep them home! The goal is to highlight the worst of the worst possible leaders. The sputtering remnants of denominational seminaries will get even more radical in the next few years. Divinity schools will merge and use their endowment money to feature and promote a wide variety of notorious instructors, longing to get a big salary for spouting their Marxist-Gay propaganda.
Union Seminary is so broke they sold their library to Columbia University to make ends meet. My Hebrew Professor at Yale came back from teaching at Union for a year. He told our all-male class that Union wanted to make their student body 50% female in the years to come. That could never happen, he thought, even at Union. Now it is true of all denominations, some using deliberate end-runs, such as the WELS "College of Ministry."
Here is one example of an expert to speak at the Luther conference - "E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor, Dean emerita and University Distinguished Professor of Womanist Ethics and Society and Gender and Sexuality Studies, Vanderbilt University."
