I will see if I can find the bibliographical info. If I can, I can probably get a PDF of it to share. I have friends in Walther Library. ;-) Rev. Charles R....
I found this article quite interesting, but noticed that there was absolutely no reference to the laity distributing the bread and wine. Does any one know...
The clergy can not have it both ways. They want to be in charge of Ablaze, a progam that is doomed to failure, but they want the congregation to do the work...
And gviing this message to all congregations would make them understand the serious nature of this sacrment. Most are proud of the way Lutherans have a...
That's simply not true. At the disctrict convention, vacant churches still have a vote by a lay member, but the vacancy pastor only has one vote. So that...

Larry, You use some pretty strong language. "A program that is doomed to failure." Maybe that is your opinion, but the fact remains that this is the...
Excellent point. And remember two other things. One is that, while there may be an abundance of other "non-voting" pastors at a synodical convention, the...
Good point, Larry. Something is up with this chat group, because I had not seen this e-mail below from Pastor Messer except through this reply by Larry Camp....
You forgot one entity that can submit memorials, which is also a representation of lay/clergy District BOD's. By the way it depends on who goes to the...
Larry, I understand your point about the % of the clergy willing to evangelize. I would also like to think that evangelizing and debating "purity of doctrine"...
I hope that you don't mind me, a lurker, weighing in on this. Vicar Scott, we who are called to be pastors in the Church must learn to measure and weigh...
Brothers All -- back out of lurk mode again to ask your understanding and possibly forgiveness. I did not fully read what Larry had written, so i am not sure...
Brother Wenndt, There was a vigorous debate across the blogosphere a month or so ago regarding whether or not the elements which remain continue to be the...
The latest to be promoted by the Rocky Mountain District. How is this not a direct violation of our Synodical Constitution in re the use of strictly Lutheran...

Clearly believers and worshipers are not the same thing. Man, my seminary education must have really ripped me off. Rev. Charles R. Lehmann Pastor, Saint...
Brothers Thomas; If, perchance - those who do not hold that the elements remain the body and blood; then what say you of the medieval practice of squirreling...
< dripping sarcasm on > Well, I, for one, am going, Kurt (loan me $20, puhleese?)! I wasn't going to go until my good buddy and new best friend Randy Rothwell...
Heavy sigh. That was the church I was confirmed in and went to elementary school at. When I went, there were no worship bands or projectors. I don't even...
Dave, I didn't grow up in that congregation like you did, and usually could not speak for what went on there when you were a child. But I am quite certain...
Charles, I was thinking something similar like, "I must have slept through that lecture." Rev. Thomas Wenndt Green Valley II Thessalonians 2:16-17; 3:16, 18 ...
Brother Tom, thanks for writing. And yes, this e-mail actually came through. I do wish you would have had the chance to sit down and listen to Professor ...
I was going to say that the pastor was the worship director, but forgot to put it in there. Thanks for that reminder. Again, my heart breaks at what has...
Scott: Face facts, please not printed ads concert the unbeliever. What a waste of money, didn't any ad or marketing people get in on this, or don't we have...
Pastor Wenndt: I will agree 100%. I find the ourity of dotrinesecondary, but you may not, anyway, we don't find many missionaries thinking sbout it. I do...
This language sounds dangerously like RC's Transubstantiation, which we reject. It does not sound like Real Presence, which we confess. Tom Handrick Immanuel...

Larry, Quite frankly it doesn't matter what you consider doomed or not. Perhaps they could have done something better, but the fact is we have what we have....
Acott: You consider me a conservative, when the moderator and most others think I am left enough to be out of the synod? Yes, I will complain about a waste...
