“Radio Silence”

Mollie Hemingway, LC-MS blogger and writer for the Wall Street Journal and GetReligion, documents the demise of “Issues, Etc.”  We can get it into the WSJ, but still nothing from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch? Timotheos

Saddam Hosted Democrats

Can anyone say “Hanoi Jane”? I guess they never wondered why they saw only good things Saddam was doing and only bad things the U.S. was doing.  Useful idiots. Timotheos

Reasons for Cancellation of “Issues” (For What It’s Worth)

You make the call. March 27, 2008 Dear Christian Friend: Last week the decision was made to discontinue the “Issues, Etc.” program on KFUO-AM Radio, a ministry owned and operated by The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).

I’m not trying to beat a quickly dying horse or anything (somehow I think this isn’t going away anytime soon), but I think it’s profitable to look at how many non-Lutherans are talking about the loss of Issues, Etc. Here’s Kim Riddlebarger (Reformed) Charlie Sebold (Reformed Baptist) Apologetics Index (not affiliated, AFAIK) Boar’s Head Tavern [...]

Issues, Etc. Archives (Updated)

You may still get the IE archives here. (I would say, “Hurry!”) Right now it’s pretty slow. I’m guessing people are hurrying. *New* You can now get the article archive here. [Via My Babblings] This is “nice.” This is nicer. [via Pr. Weedon and Pr. David Gallas] See Pr. Asburry and Pr. Cwirla for more. [...]

More on “Issues”

Read Chaz on the Schwarzes; here are more links via Josh Schroeder; it’s on the Boar’s Head Tavern. Here’s my e-mail to David Strand: Hello, I am sure your e-mail box is filling up with questions and demands. I, too, am waiting for an official answer about why this show has been canceled.  It was [...]

Issues, Etc. Gone (Updated)

If you are outside the Lutheran blogosphere or other means of Missouri Synod communication, you may not have heard that the KFUO program “Issues, Etc” has been canceled, and its host, Todd Wilken, and producer, Jeff Schwarz, were fired. There is no other information given. If you are concerned about this, call the LCMS International [...]
