I had not seen this before, and didn’t know it existed until Pres. Kieschnick mentioned it at a conference. Haven’t had a chance to read it, but I wanted to make sure people know about it.
UPDATE: My comments: there is very little else that can be said. When the questions have been answered, even if not completely satisfactorily, what else can a Christian do but accept the answers at face value? It is inappropriate, without actual evidence, to continue to accuse another Christian of doing something wrong simply because you or I may not like it. Continue to pray for Pr. Wilken and Mr. Schwarz and for KFUO and the Synod. God is still God.
Did you, by any chance, see Gene Edward Veith’s column in World Magazine about “Issues, Etc.”? Quite interesting.
I did not know the LC-MS had a “human resources” department . That might be part of the problem right there. Isn’t there a commandment against maintaining a department of bureaucrats dedicated to treating a human being as a resource? There should be.
Tim:
Your updated comments on this topic are right on. I have heard other pastors continue to push the issue, but I think you’re response is the most appropriate (and Christian).
